I hoped to do the same, but I've not had any success. I had an old packet
of asparagus seeds (cannot remember which variety) and tried sowing them in
the greenhouse a few times this year, but none germinated.

Germinates easily, though slowly (a couple weeks, give or take). When I
did plants in a nursery bed, I started indoors in the winter, transplanted
into a nursery bed 6X6", in the spring, then into a permanent bed the next
spring. Your 1 year old plants should make fist-sized crowns with that
treatment.

I defer to the UK locals on varieties...
