Thanks Cherokee Motley. I will put some sort of marker (don’t have golf tees) near each of the babies. I can’t move them in the winter as the ground will be frozen, though. Perhaps I could move them really late in the fall, this year or next.

When I started my asparagus from seed I overwintered it in a nursery bed and then transplanted in late May (I would have moved them earlier but I was waiting for the farmer to turn the soil with the tractor and it was super wet last spring). They are now doing pretty well and didn’t seem to be too bothered by being moved while actively growing.

If you do move them in the fall, I think you might want to mulch heavily and water them in well. The past two winters my fall planted/moved shrubs and perennials have heaved over the winter (presumably due to lack of consistent snow cover & more freeze/thaw than usual).
