HI,
I have grown two types of asparagus from seed in propagators and are doing well . they are about 3 inches tall and look fragile. is it worth potting them up keeping them in greenhouse until next year then planting them out?
thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, but it was somebody with a torch bring more work!!

Dear Paul,
pot them up, you'll never find them in the garden at that size once the foliage dies down. Put them in to a cold frame in the Autumn so they can overwinter properly.
