Would putting my little asparagus bed where parsnips were grown last year be ok?  

That parsnip bed is the only bed I can be sure of what was grown there  :?

yes you can put them in the snips bed but put more manure on it now . and yes you can pot tjhem on into 12 inch x 10 inch deep pots .just dont cut the spears like you would if they had been in the ground .sparragrass roots can go down a good 3ft or more
