Mary Washington asparagus is one of the older and most common asparagus varieties.

This perennial vegetable is harvested in spring, producing a high yield of tender spears from a crown.

Planting from seed delays harvest for an additional year producing a small crop in three years and a heavier yield for up to 30 years.

Tender asparagus spears are snapped or cut close to the ground to harvest.

The spears are actually undeveloped ferns which transfer energy to the crown in preparation for winter when allowed to develop in summer and fall.
