    Hi
    I am growing Asparagus from seed this coming March. Would it be possible to keep them in pots for the first year and then plant them out, or is it best to sow direct. Would it also be possible to multi-sow carrots/parsnips in root-trainers in February?.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi Mike. I sowed asparagus and kept the plants undercover for two years, potting them on twice before final planting. I was clearing the bed of perennial weeds via light exclusion, so saved at least a year doing this. The plants are well established now and next season we’ll take a first harvest – what a wait! Will be exciting in spring 🙂 So, worked well for myself. Not sure re. Carrots if there’s a great deal to gain?
