Could be serious
Tim
Cold weather just stops the asparagus growing and it shrivels a bit. Sorry to potentially bring bad news but I can only think that this is probably Foot and Root Rots. Did the die back start at the bottom? If it is that then you will have to remove the affected plants and the soil around them as it is a fungal disease. John The Vegetable Bed (Powered by CubeCart)
