Hi All,
I hope this note finds everyone healthy & enjoying today!
In our garden, we have two 3-year old Mary Washington asparagus plants. For (Detroit weather) winter, I left them covered with leaves. Upon uncovering, we found seven very nice looking spears. As of today, there are only the few seen in the photos.
Well... I thought they were spears.
The alleged spears seem to have run amok. In the attached photos, the tall one is about 5 feet tall. (It is the one from the right plant, leaning left in the second picture.)
Note that as of yesterday, the "spears" now have branches, as seen in the photos.
Why I'm writing is to ask if these plants are supposed to look like this and if I should be pruning or leaving things as God made them.
Thanks For Sharing Your Knowledge!

PS: I apologize that the photos are not very good. I try to take good shots, but apparently there is no Ansel Adams in my genetic makeup.
