leeks not thickening up?
« on: June 07, 2012, 12:14 »
i sowed leek porvite in early march and while they came up quick they haven't grown in ages they're still only a 3 inches high and a millimetre or so thick. i've sowed some musselburgh as well last month in case they didn't come good. does anyone have any ideas to thicken them up?

cheers
matt
if a man who can't count finds a four-leaved clover is he lucky?

are they in containers waiting to be dibbed in?

if they are they might appreciate a liquid feed as they'll have used up all the goodness in the compost.

If they're in the soil they'll be waiting for better weather like all of us  ::)

That sounds a good idea -- feed them  :D
