i have grown some asparagus from seed and the plot where it is going to go is now empty so do i plant them out now or leave them in their pots over winter and plant them out in the spring?

i d wait till next  now as  asparagus is erratic  and will need some time to grow ,which will then be winter and frost to stop it in its tracks best wait till next year to give it a long run and prepare in a site for three years time when you can start cropping

Size will dictate a lot, too, I suppose.

Personally, I'd plant it now. Asparagus is surprisingly tough as I often find with young seedlings. The bed must be well prepped and a bit of sand in the soil helps, particularly under the crown area as drainage is the biggest need of the future crowns. Mark the spot with a stick so you'll find it next year in case you weed and forget.
