Resowing leeks

My leeks have been destroyed by slugs/snails.  So is it too late to sow direct?

Mum is right, it's rather perfect to sow leeks in June, a winter crop, after all.

Gosh you must have hungry slugs/snails. I cant remember mine ever being eaten by slugs.

Me neither, so are you sure it's not something like a rabbit or pidgeon?

I have some leek seed just showing through.... sowed it for a friend to avoid her paying high price for a pot of young plants. (Being mean I can't spare any of my larger ones sown way back).

I think they will stand a chance of catching up so it's worth a try. Pot or tray somewhere warmish and hope for the best.

Little blue-pelletty stuff for the mice?  Or empty the cold-frame and find out where they are coming from.

Also never had slug prob with leeks. 

Thanks all, bought more seeds, and have planted them direct to-day.  They have two chances!

i always sow mine in half trays,cover and place somewhere warm.
normally through in 5 days.it's more succesful than direct sowing.
