Tricia Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Best thing is to look in your local garden centre and see what they're selling.Otherwise you could plant seeds under cloches, just in case there's any more frost.I don't grow leeks, but have some onions in open beds which I put in last Nov. and are just starting to grow again.

andyh4 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I suspect that planted this early they would be likely to run to seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've always planted them in autumn for winter use in UK. Didn't see any on the market (France) this morning or Saturday, it was all lavender bushes, rosemary, trees and shrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorothyJay Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 We always buy ours at the local market - about 5 stallholders sell them alongside their other plants. They come in 50s - last year we bought 50 autumn leeks on the 6th May @ 3.50€ and 100 winter leeks on 10th June @ 4€ per 50. Still eating them! Only a few started seeding last year and I dug up and ate them straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
