Asparagus Seeds

Question

My friend gave me about 8 seeds and I want to start a patch with them. I live in Wisconsin and it is August right now. What’s my best plan for getting these to grow?

Answer 1

If you're starting them indoors, you would normally do this about 2-3 months before your last expected frost date. Then once they reach 6-12 inches, you can plant them outdoors, treating them like you would crowns.
