leeks not thickening up?

« on: June 07, 2012, 12:14 »

i sowed leek porvite in early march and while they came up quick they haven't grown in ages they're still only a 3 inches high and a millimetre or so thick. i've sowed some musselburgh as well last month in case they didn't come good. does anyone have any ideas to thicken them up?

cheers

are they in containers waiting to be dibbed in?

if they are they might appreciate a liquid feed as they'll have used up all the goodness in the compost.

If they're in the soil they'll be waiting for better weather like all of us

That sounds a good idea -- feed them
