After starting off well my leeks don't seem to have gained any size in about a month, shall I transplant them into a RB and see how they get on?
And another way to grow the leeks (actually they do it all by themselves).
Mine tend to be crowded in a seed tray and are now a little bigger than darning needles.
As the frosts seem to be finishing now, these will be going out, 4 - 6" apart, as soon as I have the time.
A quick rake then I make a channel about 4" deep with a hoe and plant them in that using a pointed trowel or dandelion root getter-outer, whichever I can find. Makes watering easy if needed and fill in the channel as they grow, even earthing up a bit at the end.
Edit: These were sown 14/ March.
