The grasshoppers have been here for about 15-20 days, eating almost everything to the ground. The asparagus stems have turned brown and aren't being eaten as often as green leaves elsewhere, but they don't look healthy at all. I'm concerned because the crowns were planted later than they should have been and only one or two spears appeared before the grasshoppers arrived. I will keep watering, maybe a little lighter than I would have, and hope for the best. Thank you for giving me confidence to do what I thought might work.
