Default Growing Asparagus from seeds

Hi all

I've bought some asparagus seeds as I can't find crowns. I've done some reading on the net but still have a few questions. I hope some of you experienced growers can help.

I'd perfer to grow the seeds in pots for the first year, then transplant them. A site I visited said to plant in "peat cups". What are these? Can I plant in small pots? Would I use pure peat moss? Or what mixture? Am I correct in saying they must stay damp all the time?

Many thanks
Mozie
