      Me too. In fact I bought some "organic" asparagus just today and despite cutting off the bottom 2", the stalks were terribly woody & stringy all the way up to about 2" below the florets

        Far as I can tell it is an age thing, young asparagus seems to lack the thick fibers, but older can be peeled and do well. I decide whether to peel based on how they feel when I trim the bases.
