Default asparagus seedlings : plant out or pot on?

Hi

To save money, rather than buying crowns, I sowed a lot of asparagus
seed a month or two back. They are all doing well, about 50 of them,
mostly about 3-4 inches high, frail frondy things, although a few are
poking up tiny wee spears.

So - should I plant out soon? Or pot on and keep them in pots for
another year before planting out next spring?

I have done the same and planted out into a prepared bed and
all seem to be doing very well after about three weeks.

I'm no expert and not sure if I have done the right thing but so far
so good and fingers crossed
