Growing instructions
Start indoors early, 12 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds about 1 inch apart. All onions are very susceptible to damping off, so do not over water and keep the good air flow where you are growing your seedlings. Once leeks are 3 inches high and about 1/4 inch thick, they can be brought outdoors to harden off. Transplant any time after soil can be worked. Make a hole about 8" deep and drop the sturdy seedlings into the hole. Allow rain to wash soil into hole, slowly filling it. Harvest at pencil-thin stage for baby leeks or anytime thereafter. Leeks like rich, loamy, weed free soil and plenty of water, and should be kept as weed-free as possible.
