You could plant out but you would have to pay a lot of attention to them. Work out how many plants you want to grow - 6-8-10. Maybe plant two seedlings together and later (3-4mths) reduce to one plant. OR plant into pots and grow them to about ,5m and then plant in the ground. Plant in a separate part of the garden as you will have them for 20 years. The ferns grow to 1.2-1.5m high.

Want to start my asparagus bed this Fall. When is best time? Are there different instructions than for Spring planting?

I have a single shoot growing from 2 plants that are 12–14in tall already in middle of May. Should I cut these down now?

It says plant now. Try crowns if you can get them.

I’m in East Tennessee. Do I plant in sun or shade? I’m originally from Iowa and it would grown wild at the base of trees.
