Growing Asparagus from Seed
Placed some asparagus seeds in a 4 inch wide pot about 4 weeks ago and I now have a very spindly green frond which is droopy and seems to have stopped growing
? What do I do next please friends
I realise that its a long haul to get them in the ground
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

4 to 6 inches and there are 3 or 4 in each pot so I have about 16 altogether
They are about half the size of yours from the photo
They are in my conservatory which currently gets the sun only briefly in the mornings. In Summer it is quite warm
? Can I just place them outside for a few hours a day from say March onwards
I hope you are in for the long haul!
I sowed some asparagus seed last year like you in modules and planted them out in the summer in a specially prepared bed in my son's garden. They grew quite well and I have lots of tall wispery aparagus ferns. The family joke is that is that they will be my son's inheritance by the time they are thick enough to cut. Now I know why aparagus crowns are the way to go if you can afford them.

Conservatory is not heated but will give them an airing when appropriate
