FREE: Purple Leeks - 20 seeds

The listing, Purple Leeks - 20 seeds has ended.

Leeks can be either sown directly in the ground outside, or in seed trays (and left outdoors). If you only want a few leeks, it is best to sow in seed trays, then transplant outdoors. Use modular trays and sow one seed per module.

Traditionally, leeks are sown into a seedbed, which is a site away from your main vegetable plot and transplanted later in the season. This is because sowing leeks at their final spacings in your main vegetable plot would take up a lot of room early in the growing season, when you could be growing fast-maturing crops such as lettuce.

Sow seed thinly 13mm (1/2in) deep in rows 15cm (6in) apart in a seedbed in March and April.
