Reply to comment by babyyodaisamazing98 in Looks like Spring is right around the corner.....Gardeners of Pittsburgh, what do you have planned for this year's growing season? by NineFootEightWeight

We have some self-seeded asparagus in our community garden plot! I think you have to carefully pace harvesting to allow the plant to grow each year, since it’s a perennial.

Yup. We did asparagus for a couple years until we just took it out and stopped. For as much as we eat, we'd need to devote more space for it, and it wasn't worth the effort.
