when to cut down mary washington asparagus??

hello, this was my first year growing asparagus... I got 12 crowns of 2 year old mary washington asparagus from gurney's catalogue. I planted them early may I suppose. they did terrific... I didnt think they would get so big... now two of the plants have green berries on them.... when should I cut down the asparagus?? I need to weed the bed but its pretty crowded

Just weed it the best you can for now. Do not cut the asparagus until it has all turned yellow.After you cut it then weed really well,add fertilizer or manure and several inches of compost.
