Seed & start

Pre-culture recommended

Start indoors / cold frame first, transplant into the raised bed later.

Stachi's tip

Leek is robust and winter-hardy. Plant it deep β€” the white shaft develops from soil contact. Top companion to carrot (mutual pest protection). Harvest August into deep winter.
