When is the best time to plant or move asparagus?

Tremont, IL(Zone 5b)

I have about 12 or 14 asparagus plants that are growing in a flower bed. Not sure how they got there, but I would like to move them, but need instructions on doing this & when the best time would be. Any body have any suggestions? My folks grew asparagus & I've lived several different places where there was asparagus growing, but have never planted or transplanted any.
TIA

Doesn't anybody have any knowledge about asparagus??

I don't, but in the meantime, here's an informative link that might answer some of your questions because it focuses on transplanting mature ones: http://www.motherearthnews.com/library/1983_September_October/Transplanting_Asparagus
