Planting Leeks Out

[Dianne1234567]

I still have not transplanted my Lees. Is it too late to do so? Thanks for any advice.

[FionaH]

As I still have some left to go I out I would hope it's not too late.
Should be fine

[Nicos]

Well...you can still buy them here ready for transplanting!

[jackie j]

I have some and doesnt look like I will be able to do it till begining of september, I bought mine and I have put them in the ground in bunches. Hope they will be ok.

I have been planting a few over the last few weeks for a succession! Still got quite a few to plant as the spuds come out!

I've been planting leeks out in all the gardens I work in this week - last 150 at the Castle Gardens tomorrow.

Blimey, I thought I was late!!

The last of mine went in 3 weeks ago and the first lot (Zermatt) are ready for harvesting as baby leeks.

Don't tell the old fogies; but I sowed a trayful only 4 weeks ago and am still planting out my early sowings.....

[lottie dolly]

what age says you are an old fogie zazen

[Farmer_Gyles]

i still haven't dug up my early spuds so no chance of planting leeks out - might do some digging and planting next week ....

[gojiberry]

Never to late to try anything as far as planting and sowing goes. However the amount of success will depend largely on the weather. If we winter starts late then there is plenty of growing time left, maybe 3/4months which is plenty of time for leeks to grow to a decent size. On the down side frosts and cold weather could be with as within 4/6 weeks which would slow the growth of leeks down and greatly reduce the size of the harvest.

It's not an age thing, it's a 'you don't wanna do it like that' thing......

I planted some out in September last year (no deliberate plan, just didn't get around to it by then) and they still looked like little spring onions come the winter. However they survived the heavy snow and then bulked up a bit in the spring. Still quite small when pulled but really tasty and still worthwhile. Having said that have all mine I was intending to plant in this year now as I want thicker stems - although I do still have some in a trough so maybe I can find some more space for some ickle ones..........

And how many do you still have Fi?

I think I'll be going for the baby leek idea ............mine were planted out a couple of weeks ago and still look pretty weedy .
