WHEN TO SOW
March and April.
WHERE TO SOW
Sow the seeds thinly in a well prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm deep in short rows. Can also be sown earlier in trays under glass for exhibition work.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Thin seedlings as they grow to 4-5cm apart. When the seedlings are about the thickness of a pencil, they should be lifted and transplanted. Make a hole 15cm deep with a rod, trim off the ends of roots and leaves, drop into the hole and fill with water. Do not fill the hole with soil.
MATURITY
Late October to January.
HANDY TIP
As leeks are available fresh when vegetables are in short supply, try using leek in place of onion in recipes. |
