Goodenoughtoeat Leeks

Summary


In recent years, leeks have enjoyed a rise in popularity, but the pre-packaged baby varieties you get in supermarkets are not a patch on those you can grow yourself in a sunny site on soil which won''t become waterlogged in winter. It''s true, leeks occupy the ground for a long time, but the big plus is that they can be harvested from autumn to late winter.

They can be sown in seed trays indoors from mid to late winter, the seedlings pricked out and placed in modular trays and then hardened off in a cold frame for planting out in mid-spring. Alternatively, sow the seeds outdoors in spring for autumn crops, raking the soil to a fine tilth and sowing thinly in drills 15cm apart and 1cm deep.
