| Is this the right forum for asparagus? Is asparagus considered part of vegetable gardening. My asparagus has all ferned out after producing the best batch ever. Now, I want it to be good again next year. Should I give it another dose of Epson salt for fall and producing seed. I have one plant that produces seed. gmom |

| Yes, it is the right forum. Just water and fertilize it now to get a good crop next year. I don't know that they need Epsom, unless you have specific soil deficiencies. standard organic or inorganic fertilizer is all they need. |
|
| Do you want the plant to produce seed? Most people don't |

| If you remove your female plant then you will prevent your asparagus from getting over crowded. |

| The green ferns are making energy for next years crop. |
