Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:
Leek seeds do not require special preparation, but soaking them in water for 24 hours before planting can help improve germination rates.

Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds in seed-starting trays or small pots filled with a high-quality seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, but do not cover them with soil. Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist and ensure seedlings receive adequate light.

Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and after the last frost date. Prepare the garden bed by incorporating compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil fertility. Space plants 6-8 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Create trenches about 2-3 inches deep, place seedlings in the trench, and cover the roots while leaving the tops exposed.

Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. As leeks grow, add additional soil around the base to lengthen the white stem. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In colder climates, mulch heavily to protect plants from frost and overwinter them in the garden.

Harvesting:
Leeks can be harvested throughout the winter months once they reach full size.

Enjoy a bountiful and flavorful winter harvest of Leeks, perfect for hearty soups and savory dishes!
