Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy asparagus crop is almost 10 years old. I fertilized it in the winter after the greens turned a golden color–and I cut them down. I put some leaf mulch down also for the winter. Now I have a big crop, but its all extremely thin. Too thin to eat! Should I cut these down now–hoping the plant will have more energy for the remaining growth–or should I just wait until the season is over and thin out the crop. I’m devastated! I’m in western Pennsylvania. Thanks!

If you've been successful this long with your asparagus, it seems that they may have reached their peak in age. Here's our article about asparagus that's too thin:

Another suggestion is to contact your local agricultural extension service with the question. They should be able to help. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search?zip=16226&radius=10&extservsearchaction=search&submit=Search [2]
