LEEK NEPTUNE ~ outstanding variety, hardy and tasty right through the winter 50 seeds SOW: March to May for harvest from late October and through the end of February. We sow our leeks in modules or seed trays rather than a seed bed as we find it easier to separate them when transplanting. GROW: After 10-15 weeks, when they are large enough (about 20cm tall), plant out one leek per 15cm deep hole made with a dibber or stick. Water the leek into the hole and let the soil wash in but try not to get soil in between the leaves. It sounds fiddly but leeks are worth the effort. If it is dry after planting water gently every day but otherwise just leave them to grow! EAT: Leeks can be lifted when you need them so you can enjoy them fresh.

A terrific garden variety. This leek is vigorous, bulking up quickly, and has pure white, long shanks with no sign of bulbing. Another excellent quality is that is stands in good condition over a long period until you need it in your kitchen. Some of our leading competitors are offering this variety for nearly £3.00 a packet for less seed. Price for 50 seeds

SOW: seeds at 1cm deep under glass in January and February or protected in March & April. We sow our leeks in modules rather than a seed bed.  Move to a cold frame from late April & harden off ready to plant out in May or June

GROW: make holes with a wide dibber about 30cm apart and pop one leek in each.  Water the leek into the hole and let the soil wash in but try not to get soil in between the leaves.  You don’t have to fill the hole – the leek will do that as it grows.  If it is dry after planting water gently every day but otherwise just leave them to grow!

EAT: lift over the winter when you need them, slice, steam and enjoy.  A cheese sauce is a lovely way to serve them and for a bit of crunchy texture add a crumb topping.

This is the earliest of the open pollinated varieties which makes it one of the best for harvesting as baby leeks but it also grows into excellent full sized leeks: this means that you can enjoy feasting on it over a long harvest season. Price for 50 seeds.
