Sounds like you live in arid desert country. If so it might not grow in those conditions. If you have better conditions than desert you could try. Google about growing it.

There is an article here about growing it. Go to the blue climate zone tab at the top of page, work out your climate zone. Go to Asparagus - the Monthly calendar tells you when to plant.

Check the planting time from the planting calendar in Asparagus page. Also google how to grow and harvest it.

I just received 6 asparagus roots, with 4” growth on top. Can I plant them in my enclosed garden area or should I keep them near a window, indoors? It is still warm to hot, in my zone 9 area, of Southern California.

I assume you mean 6 crowns, a bulb with roots coming from it, looks like a spider. Plant them out but pay attention to watering.

I've just purchased yesterday, 4 of the 2 yr crowns from Guilford Garden Centre in Perth. This is my first time growing asparagus so I'm very curious, have lots of questions to ask......Now one of them already has a pencil size spear, can i be greedy_cut that off and eat it? I've potted them in a 60cm deep big pot temporarily while I'm setting up a new raised bed for the asparagus, how tall should i have the raised bed? If i establish them well this year, can i be harvesting small amounts next year? Thanks guys!
