Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting can enhance germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or pots.

Space seeds about 1 inch apart.

Alternatively, direct sow outdoors when the soil temperature is at least 50°F (10°C).

Germination:

Maintain soil temperature at 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 6-8 inches tall and the danger of frost has passed.

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.

Plant seedlings 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Bury the seedlings deeply, up to the first leaf, to encourage blanching of the stems.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist.

Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Hill soil up around the stems as the plants grow to blanch the lower part of the stalks.

Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks or side-dress with compost.

Monitor for pests such as leek moths and thrips, treating as necessary with organic or chemical controls.

Harvest leeks when they reach the desired size, typically 80-120 days after planting.

For best flavor, harvest before the first hard frost.

By following these instructions and providing proper care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of flavorful Mussel burgh leeks from your seeds.

HAPPY GARDENING!
