Asparagus Not Producing After Several Years

I planted asparagus several years ago, maybe 4? Last year I saw a few stalks less than pencil lead diameter. I let them go to seed. I don’t remember seeing anything but fronds in the years before that. Should I just give up or keep hoping I may get a stalk or two to actually pick?

Read through these instructions and see if your bed was built the best way to produce asparagus. If not, you may want to start over, but it takes three years before your first harvest. The bed needs 8 hours of full sun, plus well draining soil.
