WOW!..nice Leeks! :glasses9:
And I am curious...When did you start the Leeks... what exactly are the 'sticks' for... and where do you get that Black Polythene from?

The leeks were set away in Oct/Nov the black polythene is off the pallet loads and the stick mark the centre of the dibbled hole so i know where to put my seed.

So the leeks are in normal pots and you then move them outside? Do you mean that they have been in a greenhouse and you are hardening them off in the tunnel?
They look superb :icon_cheers:

No these leeks dont go out side, fourteen of them will go into the trench they are on and the rest into another tunnel. They have been in a heated GH since last year and will get pulled end of August into September for the shows so it takes a year to grow them and two years more to get my next lot from them.
