Is this normal for asparagus.

My asparagus that I planted parsley with throwing out new shoots in August. Does this happen for you lot too.

 

I don't know if it is normal, but mine is doing the same thing. Started mid-July.

 

mine does the same,, means you will have more new ones ! may not be as big but just give them time !

 

They are bigger than the ones that grew in spring.

 

Ours does the same. We let them come up, throw out a bit of composted manure, and have a small fall crop of asparagus.

 

i never have enough for a fall crop so i wait till following year for better spring crop !

 

Yes. My aparagus has done this every year.

 

Mine does this every year as well. I don't pick them, I let the plant build strength for spring.

 

First time ever, our asparagus put up most of the summer, the ferney shoots.

 

My asparagus patch is so dense, I can't get between any of the plants. They spill out onto the walkway. I think I planted them too closely.

 

Cayuga, do you eat any ? It seems eating would thin the crop. Our
original Asparagus patch took several years to be called a patch. We were watering it with creek water and never ate it. Then we put out
another patch, which took a few years to give enough to eat. The old
patch has become a circle about 4 feet across and quite thick. We do
eat a few stalks as we no longer use creek water. The newer bed may
give us a good batch in 2021.
