The message
from "p.mc" sigadd1to contains these words:

Hi


I've tried the tomatoes, and with your help I've had some nice crops the
last couple of seasons, but I,ve now planted leeks months back which I grew
from seed, and was hoping someone could give me some growing advice, or
direct me to a site that will give me the answers I'm looking for.

If you've already planted them out (preferably into holes a few inches
deep) with some space between them, there is usually nothing more you
need to do but wait until they're big enough to eat. The timing will
depend upon the variety. Some people gather earth round them as they
grow to increase the length of white shaft, but it's a refinement you
can easily do without.

If you have particular concerns about how they're doing, ask and I'm
sure you'll get more specific advice.
