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 some of these too, as well as a few potted ones bought in, and some
year old crowns on order. The beds not sorted yet but as soon as it i'll
be planting them all out. I did want some two year old crowns but have
heard they suffer more from transplant shock so maybe it's best to get them
in the ground asap.
