Asparagus can take three growing seasons to harvest; you may be able to lightly harvest during the second year.
For the following years, maintain the bed as in the second year and harvest only the spears thicker than a pencil.
Cut spears that are about 6 inches in length at an angle.
Asparagus freezes well.
