musselburgh leeks

Leeks are just about indestructible and I've never yet planted out one as thick as a pencil. As Kirsten says, as long as the tops are sticking out of the dibber hole they'll be fine. They need a long growing season but that's the beauty of them...fresh veg in the middle of winter 

couldn't have put it better meself lol,love the summer season but also miss the broth season aswell

Yes, I was surprised at that too - my first year growing them. They look exactly like my spring onion seedlings. I wonder if onion seedling look the same?
