i have some asparagus plants i grew from seed over summer. having finally
decided where to put them, does anyone have any thoughts whether it would be
better to do it now, or to wait until spring? (i have heard both). i was
going to wait until spring.

Generally, you plant perennials in autumn -- at least, you do in Sydney,
because our spring turns into summer very fast. Planting in autumn gives the
plant time to develop a good root system before hot, dry weather comes. I
think spring planting is done to avoid frost damage to young plants. What
applies to you?
