I have just raised asparagus (Fat Bastard) from seed . I have two plants per 4 inch pot planted in November 2017 & seedlings 4-6inches high. Should I plant these out to permanent garden beds now or continue to raise them in pots till next season? Locality is Berwick Victoria.. Graham

I live near Bundaberg Qld and it was a real struggle to grow from seed last year. Temp was 2-3 degree above normal. I had 6 survive out of about 30 in the garden so I would suggest you keep growing them in pots. Maybe put into bigger pots and push them along a bit with fert and water.
