Question
I am growing asparagus and this is the second year. They are now very large ferns.  Do I leave the ferns til spring and then cut them off?  If so, when do I cut them?  Is there anything I should do now?  Anything else in the spring?

Thank you.

Answer
Dear Carolyn,
We cut back the fern after the frost.  As a matter of fact, we cut all the greenery in the garden after the frost and leave it, it makes a wonderful nutrient for the soil and next years plants, including the perennials.
Kind Regards,
Kindred
