Asparagus

What do I do with new spears that emerge in early October? I cut the ferns back to ground level about 10 days ago and now new spears are shooting up rapidly. These plants were planted 2015 from a tray of established ones that said they should produce harvest crops in 2 years (2016?).

Worms missing

I have added large amounts of biomass and compost to my garden which I considered compact clay here in the foothills of NC; and kept the pH at near neutral, rotated crops and avoided ground insecticides for 5 years. I have tilled in spring and fall, the only negative aspect I can think of. Yet I seldom find any earth worms!! I use cover crops in the win winter. What gives?
