Hardening off Leeks
« on: July 09, 2008, 10:04 »
I have grown some leeks in trays in the greenhouse. They are now of a reasonable size to be planted out. I have never grown them before, what is the best way to get them ready for the outdoors and over what period of time? Thanks in advance.
I’d rather be outside

WHY :?:

Pick a few cool days, when the gh is not boiling hot and plant out after that, don't put them in a windy spot.

And don't forget that the dibbing a hole and just dropping in the leek without back filling technique works really well
