Do these leeks look ok?

[Chris Graham]

Started these leek a few weeks ago and since I didnt do very well last year with leeks I'm worried about these ones.

They are in a garage next to a window with a bubble wrap covering.

I was going to let them grow on till transplanting but what do you think?

Mine are still doubled over, so you're well ahead of me Chris !

I did a Carol Kleine on mine though and chucked loads in a bucket !  I'll separate them when they're pencil thick and plant them then (hopefully on the lottie!!!!).

;D

Glad you posted that pic. thought I had done something horribly to mine!
They look exactly the same :)

[Mrs Ava]

Look fine to me!

[Robert_Brenchley]

They look fine. Mine aren't even in yet. I don't plant until I'm satisfied that spring has irrevocably sprung.

I have a greenhouse shelf full of them, waiting for pricking out tomorrow... can get them outside earlier than other stuff so will be doing a couple of hundred for the plant sale!
;D

Better than mine. Mine are still in the seed packet. ;)

Chris i'm so glad you posted that, i was beginning to worry about mine, and they're identical to yours.  They seem way too tall don't they?!  :o

Thanks for the reassurance  :-*

[cornykev]

Same as mine.   ;D ;D ;D

[Chris Graham]

Yeh i thought they were too tall as well!

Glad they are ok, quite attached to the wee fellows.

They look fine to me.

The bend or crook is normal, all I would do is turn the tray daily so that they are not drawn over to the light.

Like KTL mines are still in the packet.

[Laney]

Well, they look exactly like mine, which I started a week and a half ago, but I've never grown them before.  It looks like we have normal leeks! ;D

[Blue Bird]

Mine are in my New Cold Frame will they be OK  ??? ???

Just great, Chris - but you do NOT have to wait for 'pencil thickness' before doing anything - even planting out.

[carolinej]

I usually plant out well before pencil thickness, as I would rather them in the ground a bit thinner, than a bit squashed in a pot of compost that has probably had all the goodness used up. Saying that, I never grow huge leeks. Maybe I am wrong.

Last year, I tried putting some in at 2 per hole. They were only slightly thinner than the ones that went in singularly, so I will be doing that again this year. Less space and less work!

and, baby leeks cost more than ordinary ones !!  ;D
