I got busy and missed harvest time for my asparagus.  Due to my climate, mine haven't gone full bore fern, but many are over 3 foot tall (one about 4 foot tall) and bigger around than my thumb (some very significantly so).  I'm so bummed I missed fresh asparagus this year.  My garden went from dormant with no sign of life, to crazy (for my few perennials) seemingly overnight.
