I loved seeing the leeks go through all the stages of development, and even through winter. Fascinating to see them flower, as well. Thank you!

What a great explanation for a keen beginner to growing veg, thanks for your simple to follow video

Excellent informative video mate thanks

Great Show!

Great visual information,thank you 👍

Thank you - such a generous crop! Great tip to use the trowel Handle as a Dibble! My favorite leeks are the Babington topset leeks - I had a great patch for the last 9 years, am starting again since moving last year!

Thanks for this interesting video, I am in Canada and wondering if leeks will survive through our minus 20C degrees winter ?

Very nice video. I was looking for when to transplant them to the soil. I know now that my numerous small seedlings need to be transplanted to bigger pots so they can develop bigger roots. I have some from last year on the ground that are getting bigger (they seemed to have hibernated all winter) I'm very pleased with them though. In no time I'll be able to harvest as needed. Thank you so much!

So you are growing leeks for basically a year? Start in April, harvest in March the following year? Is that right?

What a lovely video. What fertillizer do you recommend and how often to use, please?

Thanks great information

Leeks, in my experience, like company and to compete. I plant them very close, 2 or 3 inches grid. Pull the weaker ones to use early and let the bully's grow.

Cheers... never grown leeks before but i sewed some using the baggy method and loads have germinated... Will get then into pots over the nexr few day👍

Thanks for the info - I'm growing leeks for the first time, the little shoots are very vigorous, only took a few days for them to pop up! Is it ok that they flop over, or should I do something differently?

That sounds very quick for germination, mine typically take a couple of weeks. You may like to see this growing guide here (with photos) www.allotmentbook.co.uk/contents/leeks/

Hi what do you feed the leeks please mick

@AllotmentBook

Жыл бұрын

I do not feed them through their growing period, but I rotate my crops and feed the beds at the end of autumn with either a mulch or green manure. You may like to see my guide to website for more information: www.allotmentbook.co.uk/contents/leeks/

Did you save the seed from those that flowered?

I did not, but having read your comment I wish I had done :)

Probably a good thing. Only having the handful you kept wouldn't have produced the best genetic variability and vigor for your leeks. You require 20-50 leeks in flower to obtain true to type leeks. Sure, they may have produced viable seed, but it may have produced less than ideal leeks.

Why dont you just cut off what you want from the leeks and leave them in to continue growing more green leaves. I enjoy the leaves more than the white onion itself and make green leaf pies from them.

I heard Snowden leeked this information.
