Bendy leeks

[reetnproper]

Ok now here's a silly question .

I have 47 3wk old leeks. About 50% of thes are standing slim, straight and tall but the rest are slim but at various degrees between not quite straight to almost horizontal They look healthy enough though.

So my question is - will they right themselves or are they feeling a little under the weather ?

Told you it was a silly question.

Where are they? Indoors or out? Have you pulled gently to see if they are still good, or have started to disintegrate at the base? They might be too warm, or have damping off.

If they are still good; then try turning the pot/tray/modules round 180 degrees so that they get light from a different angle.

I suspect too warm myself.

They're indoors in a cool room. I'll 'tug' them gently tomorrow and rotate the tubs and see if that helps.

Thanks

Ok - they should be outside though - leeks are hardy souls.

Can you harden off this weekend, and get them into a coldframe/unheated greenhouse next week?

Will do and thanks for the advice.
