I'm feeling all a bit overwhelmed by this.... fatcat recommends Oarsman and I've seen these recommended elsewhere. At T&M 40 seeds are £3.00 while at Moles, 250 seeds are £4.00.... what I want is about 100 I guess

I buy a lot of my seeds from Moles but as I started filling my basket yeThanks fir day – and with four items (veg) I was already up to £16.... so when I popped into Aldi tonight I picked up a packet of Musselburgh, 250 for 39p. I appreciate there are early and later maturing leeks but I could ask if there is any that you would not recommend?

I've grown musselburgh in both my first two years with good results. They were a wee bit short in the first year, so last year I dibbed them in a few cm deeper (and fed them more) and have been rewarded with good, fat and long leeks. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with MB. Having said that, I'm planning to experiment with a different variety this year!

Thanks for the tip off on aldi seeds - might pay them a visit today!
