Leeks - germination temperature
« on: February 14, 2010, 13:09 »
I have just sowed two pots of leeks - Oarsman and Lyon Prizetaker.  Do they need any bottom heat, ie do I put them in the propagator with the toms etc or will they germinate on the greenhouse bench?  Do I cover them with a plastic bag or something?    I keep the greenhouse frost free, minimum 6 degrees C/

They'll be fine with no extra heat.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Now you know I'm going to ask you what the cat litter tray method is :)
