Do not cut them the first year, this helps the root system to properly fill out. The second year you can cut them once the spears grow to 3/4 inch thick.
Hi. My name is Joe. I have a question. I just bought the Asparagus at the Wal-mart. and it came with 10 crowns that has around 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch in diameter. and they are starting to grow already. and those are around 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in diameter. Should I wait for 3 years to harvest? or should I start harvest now? It's been a 2 weeks that I planted in my garden. and if it is O.K. to start harvest should I keep on cut them till winter? or harvest only so much and let it grow?
Shouldn't you spread the roots out ?

We do not as it just takes longer to plant. We normally get to harvest the second year.

no you should wait till at least next year and make sure they are as thick as your little finger.
