leeks

Just had a lovely day in the garden, have dug a patch that was all overgrown grass and planted 105 leeks. Gosh I hope they grow after all the hard work. My garden isn't really ready for planting yet but a neighbour opposite (bless his heart) keeps bringing me plants over. So far I have planted shallots, brussel sprouts, green beans, and now leeks. My partner has got 9 tomato plants in.

All this and we are building an extension on the kitchen too so hopefully I can cook all these lovely veggies properly.

 

Is it time now to plant leeks ? I've got a bit of empty ground... do you buy seeds, plants, or what ?

 

Hi

errrrrrr lol if my friendly neighbour says it's time to plant leeks I just plant them

seriously though I have seen it on web sites that seeds are from May-June, and plant out July. Hope this helps. But this is my first year of gardening proper.

 

OK TA. I'm not that daft on leeks as such....I just thought if she's planting 100 of them then maybe I should do some as well LOL !
