So with asparagus you can't harvest for three years? Why?

You cut the stocks down when they're about six inches (15cm) long. The thing is: they need to be at least as thick as a pencil when you cut them back: once they start growing skinnier than that you need to stop cutting them back or risk killing them. So it takes about three years for them to be thick enough. That being said: a lot of places will sell shoots for planting that are already a year or two old.
