We have just booked a holiday that will take us away from home for
virtually the whole of April - normally the busiest month for
sowing/planting out etc.

Does anyone have advice on what I can do with seedlings/young plants
that should be ready in April (onions & leeks at the moment). Whilst the
neighbours will water things in the greenhouse (cold and drafty!) and
even mow the lawn, I can not expect them to plant out my veggies.

I never plant out leeks until June/July - never ready or organised before then! They have always resulted in a crop so far. So I'm sure you can leave them until you get back.
