1. Key things to know

  1. When the harvest period ends, stop cutting. Every spear left standing turns into a fern that feeds the roots, and the field comes back in 22 hours instead of 72.
  2. You get Seeds after the 4th cycle. Never earlier. Clear the field then and you get 1 Asparagus Seed.

2. The 6 stages, in order

Asparagus lifecycle from stage A to K: grow strong roots 72h, prune, harvest spears 1h, grow-out 1h, regeneration 22 to 72 hours, seeds after the 4th cycle.
The letters A to K on the picture match the steps below. Click it for a closer look.

  1. Grow strong roots

    Stages A – D72 hoursonly once

    The plant grows roots under the ground for 3 days. On top, a fern grows bigger and bigger.

    Use 20 Organic Fertilizer to grow the plant from stage A to D at once. A 100% Rain cuts the time left in half.

    Stage D is not ready to harvest. The big fern has no spears in it, and clicking will not give you any.

  2. Prune, which means cut the fern back

    Stage Einstantevery cycle

    Click the Crop Field. That opens the harvesting period.

    You do not get Asparagus Spears from pruning.

  3. Harvest Asparagus Spears

    Stages F – H1 hourthis is the harvest

    Spears appear one every 6 minutes, so about 10 in the hour.

    Click anywhere inside the field to pick the nearest one. You do not need to hit the spear itself.

    Each spear waits 25 minutes. If you do not pick it, it turns into a fern, and ferns cannot be harvested.

    Only spears count for Quests, Orders and Competitions.

  4. Grow-out, which means stop cutting

    Stage Iabout 1 hour

    Asparagus
    Feeding the roots
    Leave the spears, they feed the roots

    The tooltip changes to this. Spears keep appearing and the game still lets you cut them. Do not cut them.

    Every spear you leave turns into a fern, and the ferns feed the roots for the next cycle.

  5. Regeneration

    Stages J – K22 to 72 hoursnothing to do

    Regeneration time depends on how many ferns you left standing. 10 ferns: 22 hours. 0 ferns: 72 hours.

    You stopped cuttingYou kept cutting
    Spears today~10~20
    Ready to prune againin 22 hoursin 72 hours
    Good ifyou play every dayyou plan to be away for the next few days

    You cannot use Fertilizer during this stage.

    Hover the field to see the exact time. When it ends, the field is a full fern again. Prune it and the next cycle starts.

↻ Steps 2 to 5 are one cycle. Each Crop Field runs 4 of them, then comes step 6.

  1. Collect the Seed

    after the 4th cycle only

    On the 4th cycle the ferns grow red berries. They cannot be cut.

    When the berries are ripe, clear the Crop Field. You get 1 Asparagus Seed and empty soil.

    The Seed plants Asparagus again from your Barn, for free. Clear the field earlier and you get no Seed.

3. How to unlock Asparagus

Asparagus is not sold in the Shop. You get it from a 10-Quest Chapter. Molly Bennett phones you to start it, but only when all 3 of these are true:

  • You are Level 50.
  • 3 Orders delivered to the Charity Foundation. Charity Orders unlock with the first two tasks of the Quest “Into the Wild”.
  • Joe works on your Farm. He is the one who recommends you to Molly.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY BELLFLOWER MEADOW.

That land is a separate purchase and does not help here. Charity Orders come from the first two tasks of “Into the Wild”.

The order does not matter. The phone rings when you finish the last one.

The Chapter is 10 deliveries from your Kitchen, 2 Recipes at a time. At the end Molly sends you the Asparagus Seed Box.

4. Picking a whole row with Click Locking

With Click Locking switched on in Settings, click and hold the mouse button, then drag the cursor across several Crop Fields standing side by side:

  • While a spear is standing, every click takes a spear. Never a fern.
  • When all spears are picked, a click cuts the fern under the cursor.

So dragging is safe while spears are still standing. It cannot cut your ferns by mistake.

5. Limits and extras

  • Level 50 to unlock and to plant.
  • 12 Crop Fields maximum, and only on your Home Farm.
  • The Harvester and the Seeding Plan both skip Asparagus.

6. Why isn’t it working?

I pruned and the Quest did not move.

Pruning is not a harvest. Wait for the spears and pick those.

Nothing has come up yet.

The first spear appears about 6 minutes after you prune. Empty soil at the start is normal.

I used Organic Fertilizer and nothing happened.

It only works on a new planting, during those first 72 hours.

My field is taking 3 days to come back.

You cut spears after the harvest hour ended. Ferns left standing are what make it faster.

Do I have to buy the land in Bellflower Meadow?

No. Charity Orders come from the first two tasks of the Quest “Into the Wild”.

Where are my seeds?

Only after the 4th cycle. Clear the field then and you get 1 Seed. See step 6.
