It is a plant that always amazes me. You make a hole in the ground, trim
the roots down, drop the leek into the hole then fill with water. I have
never had one fail yet. I only wish all plants were as amenable!

Thats the way my grandad taught me to plant leeks.

And the way I always plant them.

Not because my grandad taught me, cos I never knew him!


Thanks for everybodies contributions here - we have today planted the last
of the bought- in plugs and guess what (:-),
the original seeds have now germinated but as yet are nowhere large enough
to plant out.
Regards
Pete
