We haven't picked any and at last count I have 45 stalks/spears up. Can hardly wait until next year to start harvesting some. I can tell where every crown is and I won't pick every spear that comes up off any one of the crowns. OSU, Ok. St. U. did a study several years ago and their finding was that it really didn't matter if you started picking them the first year or not in the whole scheme of things. I've elected to not pick any this year but watch out next year. They concluded that waiting for the third year was an old wives tale, not to be taken seriously. I feel comfortable in what I'm planning to do.
