We have 15yr old rasise beds in our garden. Our 4 Asparagus beds 3 at 4'x12 and one 4'x8' 0nly 4 years old, provide our extended family, with more than we can use and preserve each year. (we prefer to freezing rather than canning Asparagus. We get spears up to 1-1/4" in diamiter during the spring harvest. We harvest to about the first of June, till second week depending on the weather. From then on the crop continues to grow until this time of year. (gettd about 6' high) This year , I cut the stalks off early, about 1" below the surface of the ground, as everything was ahead of schedule. Past years, I strip off the brows with berries, (only grow on female plants) and mulched the beds with them. This year everything went into the compost pile, as the beds are full of tiney new seadling spears. Bare in mind that in the spring, new spears grow up through old stalks, so if the old are not cut off, the new growth will struggle to emerge in the spring. As for Strawberries, We have mulched our beds late in the fall with straw. This year I am trying something different. I have many large 12' long cardboard boxes from insolated vinyl siding. I'm going to staple the boxes to my raised bed boxes, and see what happens. Just for reference, our temps. often reach 10-F and down to 30-F on ocasions. Loren the Acg.
