Courtney, hello! YES, you can grow asparagus in pots. This makes it easier to weed. Also, you can get a sense for how fast it grow and how often it produces. It is imperative that you don't let the soil get too dry. True, it won't be "as" productive if grown in the ground. But, you can just grow in several pots to make sure you have enough. Be sure not to harvest or disturb them for minimum 2-4 years so that the crowns can establish in the ground properly. If you have cats (or dogs) this may be an issue as it produces berries. The fern-like structures with little red balls on them are simply to irresistible for our furry family members. And I can tell you that fresh asparagus right out of the ground is simply delicious! No cooking is required!!! Enjoy your tiny garden!!!
p.s. You can also start from seeds and get that experience as well!-Susan
