London flag leeks grow large, thick, with white stalks and are slightly bulberous (fun word) at base. Mild onion flavor

A cool weather crop, they are at their best when day temperatures are below 75 degrees F.

Leeks may be planted from seed 4 to 6 weeks before the average date of the last frost or from transplants in the fall. Transplants may be set out in early spring to mid summer.Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil that has been amended with 1lb of complete fertilizer per 100 sqare feet. If planting seeds, do so shallowly, at only 1/8 of an inch, then thin to 9 inches apart. If setting out transplants, dig holes 6 inches deep and 9 inches apart. A double row will help save space.

Drop the leeks into the holes, but do not fill with soil. Water will collapse soil into holes over time and leeks will position themselves.

*Keep leeks watered and never let them completely dry out.

*Leeks grow well with most plants. The pungent odor emitted by the leeks confuses and repels insect pests. In addition, if you allow a few leeks to go to blossom and go to seed, the blooms will attract beneficial insects, which will further protect a nearby plant. Leeks also make good companion plants for carrots and celery. Be sure to keep a few seeds for next harvest.

Questions & Comments

I am going try them in a raised bed :)

I've grown them in raised beds before as well as a simple 9 inch ceramic container with pebbles in it. Leeks and onions are really easy to grow. Remember that these are heirloom seeds. You should allow at least one plant to flower and go to seed. Use one as a "mother".

Another tip is when you harvest the leeks or even onions is to cut 1/2" or 1" above the root. You can save that root to grow more leeks and onions. I've don't this plenty of times by soaking in a bit of water for a day then planting in the ground/container or keeping them in a vessel of water on a window sill.

I always send a bonus seed with ever auction. It seems silly to send a few seeds in one envelope. You may as well add the aloud weight since US Postal Service is charging you for it. Happy Gardening ~ LosAngeles
