Question details
I'm in zone 7, rocky soil, good drainage with full sun.
It's not too late. Soaking them is always a good idea. You'll need to amend that rocky soil so that it has good tilth. Don't expect to harvest the spears for 2-3 years. Plant away. Stay natural, David
I agree, plant now. Depth 8 to 10 inches deep in a trench 12" min wide. Spread roots out over a small centr mound, cover roots to the top of the eye. As the shoots develop fill in the trench allowing 3-4 inches of shoot exposed, continue filling until trench is at ground level.Keep well watered. Let asparagus fern out the next 2-3 years to strengthen the root. IF a soil test indicates the need, apply a high Phrosporus fertilizer, with low Nitrogen in fall. Keep well watered
