I have been thinking about doing this myself. I have an unheated/cold greenhouse and would love to get some stuff started off. They say you can sow onion seed now so my thinking would be Leek seed would be ok too ?? Somebody correct me if I am wrong - I am not sure either.

I sowed musselburgh leeks 10 days ago in a seed tray. They are germinating now, and have been in a fairly cold kitchen window (we only have the heating on for a few hours in the evening each day to save oil!). I'm going to prick them out into modules when they are a bit bigger, then put them in my unheated polytunnel. Go ahead and sow! |

Hi guys I just sowed my leeks in three big pots today. They are each about a ft. deep. I am hoping to transfer them into the garden in may. That will be the only transplant I will do I hope! |
