3. Transplanting
Once you have started your seeds indoors or in a greenhouse you will want to transplant them to your garden area. The seedlings are ready for transplantation when they are about ten weeks to twelve weeks old.
When they are ready to be moved to the ground or raised garden bed it is important to make sure that there is no danger of frost in your area. Once the danger of frost has passed you should move the seedlings to your garden bed. The transplants should be planted roughly eighteen inches apart and about three to six inches apart.
For thinner asparagus spears you will want to plant the seedlings eight to ten inches apart and about four inches deep. For thicker stalks, you will want to plant the stalks about a foot apart and six to eight inches in the ground. This will provide you with a stalk that is thicker and heartier.
