Asparagus season typically runs from late February or early April through June, with the peak months being April and May. In many regions, the asparagus harvest ends by June 24, often referred to as St. John’s Day or "Asparagus New Year’s Eve," to allow the plants time to rest and regenerate for the next growing season. So, the best time to enjoy fresh asparagus is during the spring months, especially April and May, with the official season usually wrapping up by late June.
