Bit of a strange day here today…one minute it is sunny and the next minute: rain. However I have managed to plant out my little leek seedlings! I have never managed to get nice thick leeks like you find in the supermarket (mine are usually about half the size), although the flavour is sensational!
My mother bought me the little dibber tool so I’ve used that and followed Monty Don’s rules (fromBBC) for planting out:
- Use a dibber to make a hole.
- Place seedling about two thirds of way into hole.
- Do not fill in hole.
- Water in.
In a couple of weeks I’ll mound them up and I’ll keep doing that until they hopefully (all fingers crossed) get nice and thick over the next few months. I keep planting leeks all year round as I use them in a myriad of recipes. These ones are Yates Leek – Welsh Wonder.
Right – had better not procrastinate any further and get back to work. I love reading everyone else’s progress in this challenge and learning new tips, but it can be a bit of a distraction! :)
