The leeks I planted out some weeks ago seem to be growing fine, except that
they vary a great deal in size.

Some are thickening up nicely but others are quite weedy, even those growing
next to one another.

Is this normal?

Well, I have never had a different experience with leeks :-)

Mine are looking very sad, and they are grown from seed you sent me
Alan.
I cannot decide if it is just the drought, though I have watered them
occasionally, or whether it is the onion fly or some-such. They were
looking quite good. Must water more but how do I tell if it is a
pest?

I`ve got about 40 leeks down the allotment and there are some real hum
dingers and some you could only describe as pencils. All different but
no doubt delicious.

Looking forward to pulling them and cooking.

I tried pullng a couple the other day but couldn't muster enough strength,
had to resort to digging them out!
