You'd get baby leeks (and very nice they are too).  I'll be sowing some next few days

Mine are fine - you won't have seen this as a newcomer to the forum, Duncan, so here's how I go about it...


LEEKS
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Someone was offering a tray of leeks on my local Freecycle a few days ago. You might want to join your local group and ask if anyone has some spare. Go here and search for your local group.
Additionally, there are probably a number of people like me who have largish quantities in a nursery bed and will plant on in a few weeks time, so will have spares.
Maybe update your profile to say where you are?
