Q.My Asparagus Is Coming Out As A Fern And Normal Ones
I just don’t know if I should cut the ones off that come out as a small fern? There are some normal ones to which we have had a 4 but they seem to be more of the fern ones. Not sure if I should cut them or not to throw away.

It sounds like it is "ferning out." Wait till fall to cut all the foliage back.
