Would you be better putting in two or three crowns of standard
Asparugus, adding plenty of grit under the crowns to aid drainage, and
then just let them get on with it, in time they will self seed

as I said, you need plants of both sexes, and many commercial crowns
are male-only.

That's true! I don't think I've ever had a female plant among those that
I've bought over the years!

I'm wondering just how my asparagus in France is faring. I haven't seen
it for over a year and it doesn't look as though I can get over there
this year in the short term! :-(
