I have an asparagus bed i was going to plant TODAY. Now, it seems we'll be selling this place and buying another, in about 2 or 3 months...I am hoping I will still own this property by killing frost.

What would you do with the asparagus? not plant? throw out the crowns or could I move them if I had another bed ready at the new place.

I never knew gardening could be so traumatic.

Some people say you can move Asparagus. I think I would wait until you have a bed ready. But I think Asparagus needs to be planted in the spring so that it can 'fern' out in the summer.

I let mine grow and this spring I took the lawn mower to it and mowed it all down, it took some of the plants a long time to start growing this year, but they all finally came up.

It fact most of them came up so fast, I missed out on picking them, the few I did eat were wonderful.
