Hi, I've just sown some leeks in a cat tray but am not sure whether to leave on cold window sill or warm one! Also, do I need to cover with clear plastic bag to help germination? Please help!

COLD !!!
I always sow them in deep pots as the are deep rooted plants.

Covering with a clear bag will help retain the moisture until they germinate. You won't have to worry about the watering issue.

Hi, thank you both for your quick replies :)

A bit early too I think? I use the same planting method but in March. Tip originally from DD I seem to remember.

Yes indeed.
I did link to it in another leek thread.
