Today put in my show carrots in and leek out to harden of before goung into the trenches.

WOW!..nice Leeks!
And I am curious...When did you start the Leeks... what exactly are the 'sticks' for... and where do you get that Black Polythene from?

[davyw1]

The leeks were set away in Oct/Nov the black polythene is off the pallet loads and the stick mark the centre of the dibbled hole so i know where to put my seed.

So the leeks are in normal pots and you then move them outside? Do you mean that they have been in a greenhouse and you are hardening them off in the tunnel?
They look superb

No these leeks dont go out side, fourteen of them will go into the trench they are on and the rest into another tunnel. They have been in a heated GH since last year and will get pulled end of August into September for the shows so it takes a year to grow them and two years more to get my next lot from them.
