Yep my leeks are in the cold frame, and I'm still eating last year's.

My leeks have just popped their heads through the compost and we still have about 10 in the ground from last year to eat.

Just sown my leeks in an unheated greenhouse. I will do a second lot in an outdoor seedbed at the end of April. My onions are coming along nicely in a heated frame placed inside the greenhouse. Hopefully they will be good enough to put in the local flower and veg show in September. I do it more to support the allotment society rather than with any hope of winning.

I planted some leeks in loo roll tubes about 3rd of Feb and nothing is happening?

They are in a mini plastic greenhouse in my conservatory. It's lovely and warm/sunny during the day but gets very cold at night. Why aren't my leeks germinating?

Mine were sown on 8th Feb and have just germinated this last week. Each day some more are coming through so don't give up for a while yet.
