Title: Leek plantlets
Post by: Mrs Ava on July 08, 2007, 16:43:56

Just in case any of you know this immediately, have any of you ordered any leek seedlings?  Mine shrivelled whilst I have been a pathetic invalid.  I have sown some more, well I didn't, number one son has sown some more for me today, but I thought if I could buy some in the meantime I won't completely miss the boat.  I am looking online at the different seed companies, but so far have drawn a blank.

Thanks in advance.  :)

I will go to the local nurseries tomoz, but I haven't seen them in there before.  I did look on ebay Sarah and I thought they were a touch steep for only a few plants.  As I said, I do have some more sown today, I would just like a bundle to go in now so I have some decent sized leeks over winter.  Thanks for helping chaps and chappessessss.
