leek question

It's been a topic of discussion up here as some of the leek growers who save their own seed have found that they are getting both the bulblets and early flowering.

There has been much discussion over bought in compost and manure having affected the crop - comments about chemicals in what they have bought in affecting their stock as they haven't done anything different to what they have been doing for many years.

It's an interesting aside from those who specialise in leek growing from their own seed.

Doubt it was to early, some of mine were sown in jan and I'm a smidge further south than you in the tundra otherwise known as tropical blackpool

Ah Blackpool.....lived in Lancs until 20yrs ago Now living on the coast in NW Scottish Highlands...so certainly not lack of watering! I think I shall have to look at different seed varieties for next year although the  Mussleborough has done well for me in the past..
