When to Sow Leeks
- Sow Indoors: January to February
- Plant Out: May to July
- Sow Outdoors: March to April
How to Grow Leeks
Pumpkins and virtually all Winter Squashes can be grown in the same way, just take caeful note whether they are bushing or trailing habit, as trailing varieties can be quite space hungry!
- Sow indoors in modules during january and February one seed per module.
- Sow outdoor seeds 2.5cm (1in) deep.
- Row spacing 30-38cm (12-15in) apart.
The seed bed should be well manured the autumn before as they need deep, well-drained enriched soil to do their best.
