From Freezing To Go, Go, Go!

Hi all,

I have grown some leeks and spring onions on the windowsill with the intention of planting out. They are now around 2-3 inches tall. (most still have the seed on the plant head). Wondering whether I can just plant these straight out now that the weather has warmed up, maybe with a bit of hardening off this week, should I pot them on, or something else?

Here are some pictures of the leeks and spring onions in question:

I'd pot them on to be gradually hardened off if they were mine. No one can say how the weather will go, you might be fine planting them out now, but I wouldn't risk it.

Thanks Nick. When you say pot them on, would you put one single leek or onion in one pot/compartment?

With the spring onions I always plant them out in clumps.
They find their own space.
I hadn't grown leeks so can't advise you on that.
I wouldn't plant out your spring onions just yet, they're a bit small and the weather is a bit cool.
