Kings Seeds Exhibition Leek Mammoth Pot 100 Seeds

Leek - Pot

Pot is a true exhibition variety producing very large, and very heavy leeks. Not only is the leek a well-known tasty winter vegetable, but its root system has the added advantage of improving heavy soils. Leeks are in the ground for quite a long time and do take a fair amount of work, but they really are worth all that effort; so its not surprising they will be found on almost every vegetable plot.

Sow from January to February under glass or March to April outdoors. Early sowings can be made under glass. Sow the seed into pots or trays and cover the seed with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. For Outdoor sowings , sow the seed thinly, 1.5cm deep in drills 30cm apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Water ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Once early sowings have germinated, transplant into individual pots and grow on under glass until April. Then move the plants to a cold frame to harden off before planting out at 25-30cm apart in rows, with 45cm between rows. Ready to harvest from September onwards.
