I intend to grow several varieties of leek in order to save seed from the best specimens, and over time 'clean-up' certain varieties that may have strayed from former glory.
As I understand it, leeks are sown in the spring in order to put on decent size for the table, and flower in their second year.
Is it possible to bypass a year and get the leeks to bolt in their first summer, by sowing in the preceding autumn?
Cheers!
