Leeks are a fantastic crop that is often seen as a vital winter vegetable but are actually capable of providing a harvest for up to eight months a year. With good planning, and growing different varieties, you can be lifting leeks from summer into the following spring.
Growing leeks is relatively easy and often starts with sowing seeds in mid-spring, before planting seedlings out into the garden come early summer. It is now also popular to grow baby leeks that are harvested when they are around the thickness of a pencil.
