Title: Newly planted leeks
Post by: starmoonlilly on August 11, 2007, 07:22

I planted out my young leeks last week, but some of the holes were either too deep or the leeks too short and some of them are not visible as the holes filled with soil when I watered them in.

Will they surface at all or are they doomed? How long should I wait?

Not sure really.  I reckon they'll suffer

I swear if you put my brain in a frog...it would jump backwards!
