hi having recently got some asparagus crowns they have already started to sprout can i plant these into pots for now until the weathers better and plant them on or should i just leave them as they are  any coments most welcome

havent got a clue

They have sprouted because they have been stored too warm. I would put them in the veg section of the fridge until you can plant them.

i bought some asparagus things from wilko's...still in a drawer, bought with rubarb roots too.  When do you plant these out ??

Bare roots of either asparagus or rhubarb could be planted out now. But if they've started leafing out, then it's best to pot them up for now and plant when the weather is a bit warmer and all chance of frost is past. To put out growing ones now means its likely the green sprouts will die off, though more sprouts will follow. Pot up and put in a cool greenhouse for now.
