Growing Asparagus from seeds

Hi allI've bought some asparagus seeds as I can't find crowns. I've done somreading on the net but still have a few questions. I hope some of yoexperienced growers can help.I'd perfer to grow the seeds in pots for the first year, thetransplant them. A site I visited said to plant in "peat cups". Whaare these? Can I plant in small pots? Would I use pure peat moss? Owhat mixture? Am I correct in saying they must stay damp all the time?Many thanksMozi--Mozie

Asparagus grows just fine here in Alaska in USDA Zone 3 and 4. We started from seed -- no problem.

And I've heard that someone up near Fairbanks, Alaska is growing it. They're in USDA Zone 2.
