Melissa said:I'm waiting to see if my little plants survived our winter this year. I had about 200 plants... it was much cheaper to start from seed than to buy crowns. I'm going to sow some more though, just in case. ;)

The problem (if it is such) for me is first year asparagus is nigh the thickness of a blade of grass. If you have a hard time getting down to bring nose to dirt to see your 'grass. Then growing a season in 4" pots will help things bulk up.

Asparagus is reliably hearty in Ohio. (heck it was reliably hearty in NH too).

I've grown asparagus from seed since the seventies. Wouldn't do it any other way.
