I thought I was ready for it this year.  Nice thick young plants are ready to go in the pentland javelin bed this weekend.  Dug bed over this morning, added compost and chicken pellets.  Got debris netting out of shed to cover against the dreaded pest.  Checked seedlings after lunch and guess what?  Crawling with maggots   I've chopped the tops off and tried to squish what I can so I'm gonna bung them in and hope for the best.  Fingers crossed.

There's a leek moth?     OK, no-one told me about that one, worried now...!

Depends where you live, not everyone gets it.  All I know is it's rife in Somerset, completely destroyed my crop last year.

Dont you just hate it when this happens , hope you get something sorted

I posted a few weeks back about it on my garlic, but nobody really picked up on it. It didn't really affect the crop in the end. I've had it the last few years on leeks, so I'm sure I'll get it again this year

It would be interesting to see who is affected and where they are.  My dad took half my young plants and grew a fantastic crop and he's only just over the border in Devon.
