What Do You Know About Asperagus?

Question

I would like all you know about asparagus. I’m looking for what has hit my long established asparagus patch. Out of the blue some of the spears have come up with a yellow/rust look. They stand still for a while and then seem to get soft and fall over. Often they come up right next to a good spear. What is happening? And can I fix it? Thanks, Rhoda (sorry, no camera)
