any asparagus growers out there? I need advice

6. I've had asparagus for years and

yours look pretty standard for young plants. The fern-like tops do get larger and larger as the plants age and will flop over. You can just let them do that, although when I was in my last house I propped them up with cheap tomato cages to keep them off the pathway so nobody would trip over them. I cut them off after frost killed them back and then mulched the bed for winter. The advice from another poster about setting your plants deep is recommended by all of the gardening books; if you didn't do this maybe wait until after they die back from frost and lift them gently to dig the trench a bit deeper.
