Sow Right SeedsGiant Leek Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant and Grow an Outdoor Home Vegetable Garden - Large Green Chive Onion - Cook Asian Cuisine (1)

To expand my herb garden is a must!

I germinated the seeds by paper towel method. I put around 30 seeds out for eight days and only about 5 didn't germinate- not bad. The seedlings are looking good- anywhere from 3/4 to 2" of sprout.

Died right after sprouting can't get a constant growth no matter what the condition I start out with

Growing great

There were fewer seeds in the packet than I thought, but a very high percentage germinated. I wanted more so I can stagger the plantings. I'll get 2 or 3 plantings from this pack and can collect my own seeds thereafter. They were the least expensive and no one locally had any so thanks.

I'd never grown leeks before and didn't even have time to find any tips or instructions before starting these...I purchased one pack of these in the spring of 2023. I direct sowed them (in a 1 foot circle) in one of my raised beds in late spring 2023. All summer they just looked like grass. I didn't have much hope for them, but I was so focused on other veggies I completely ignored them.Then in the fall when the weather started to cool down here in zone 7b, they really began to take off, just as I was harvesting everything around them.In late Fall, as I was bringing kitchen scraps and shredded cardboard to my compost bin, something told me to bring them over to the leeks instead. So I circled the leeks with scraps, covered that with about 5 inches of cardboard and watered it in. Checked a month later and I could see the worms were doing their job.Long story short, by early January they were fairly large, growing in a tight clump. I figured I'd let them go a little longer, but when the leaves started to wilt in this polar vortex (late January) I realized I should probably harvest them... though I know I could have left them now.They look great and smell divine! I probably have enough large leeks to make 3-4 recipes and I plan to replant the small leeks (offsets?) once the weather warms back up a bit, to collect seed from those this year. I also still have a half package of seeds left from last year and just purchased 4 more that I will vacuum seal as long term survival backup.I never want to be without these leeks and plan to succession plant these bimonthly for many years to come!

Not sure if it was my fault but never produced

i followed the instructions to the letter and did not get a harvest. We had terrible weather here in zone 5 this growing season and our harvest was horrible on most crops. I will try again in the early spring 2024. but had terrible results in 2023.
