Asparagus

We have harvested a handful of asparagus shoots this afternoon - it was a bit of a surprise so we haven't eaten them yet. Do we still keep cutting until mid June?? Fortunately the asparagus beetle still seems to be asleep!

    How newly planted are your asparagus? If it's a new bed I would leave them alone. If an established bed I expect they will stop if the weather gets cold. But I feel if you keep cutting them it will exhaust them. I grew asparagus for years, but they never grew this early.
