Ican Leek Baby
Fast-growing, early maturing - ready to eat 8 weeks from planting. Best harvested when 1.5cm diameter - finger thick. A great space saver as they can be planted close.
How to Sow
Choose a sheltered well-drained site in full sun. Best sown 1cm deep and thinned to 5cm apart in rows 20cm apart. Alternatively, sow trays or punnets and transplant. Plant in a prepared garden bed or container to which lime and Ican Organic Vegetable Food have been added.
Growing Care
Keep moist but not wet during germination and emergence. Protect young seedlings with slug pellets. If leaves are yellow, feed with Ican Organic Vegetable Food or Ican Fast Food. Water well in dry periods.
Tips
Leeks love lime, food, and water.
