{"title":"Leek Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou could be eating delicious leeks from your garden for six months or more by choosing varieties for continuity of cropping. One of the most useful and versatile of all vegetables, leeks should be planted in an open site in rich, well dug soil with plenty of well-rotted organic matter, which can be incorporated just before the young plants are set out. Their fibrous roots improve the soil's structure, but remember to rotate their growing position, as you would with onions. They produce a natural white shank, but its length of blanch can be increased by earthing up the plants as they develop through the summer and autumn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Sow and Grow Leeks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow indoors: 0.5cm(¼in) deep in a tray of compost.
