does anyone know where i can buy leeks to transplants

[sunshineband]

Try ebay, there are a good few who grow extra to sell

Or local Garden Centres of course

Some can be found on professional show sites but they are expensive if all you want to do is grow them to eat. The trays in garden centres often work more expensive per plant than they cost ready to eat in the supermarkets.

It is easy to grow your own from seed. Either do as I do and sow a row straight into the ground or plant in a deep tray - look up DD topic on here.

Now is a good time to sow. If sowing directly in the ground place the seeds 1 inch apart and keep weed free and watered. Pull the best plants to plant out for Winter use. Leave the others to grow and use as mini-leeks. A 10 ft row should give you 60+ good plants.
