FREE: American Flag Leek seeds 50+

The listing, American Flag Leek seeds 50+ has ended.

Offer is for 50+ American Flag Leek seeds. Leeks are a gourmet chefs favorite for soups and seasoning. They are a member of the onion family but have a much better flavor and aroma. Yummy. Try them once and you will grow them year after year. Read up on them more than I can give you for better care and production.

Plant leeks in a sunny spot in soil that is fertile and well-drained. Leeks thrive in traditional garden beds, raised beds, or even in tall containers, so choose whatever works best for you. Space leeks 6 inches apart when planting.

To produce a succulent white stem, leeks must be blanched — in other words, covered or hidden from the sun. To do this, plant leeks into deep holes. (Deeper planting yields a more drought-resistant plant, too.) Create a narrow trench 6 to 8 inches deep, then tuck seedlings into the trench, adding soil back so it comes up to the base of the first green leaf. As leeks grow, mound the soil from the trench around stems, beginning when stems are 1 inch thick. Water well.
