Suttons Leek Blue Green Autumn Neptune

An impressive leek producing flavoursome white stems that are ready to harvest from November to January. Shows good winter hardiness and resistance to rust.

Sow thinly direct into a finely raked seedbed at a depth of 13mm in rows 30cm apart. Germination takes 14-18 days. When ready to transplant make holes with a dibber 10-15cms deep and 23cm apart. drop the plant into each hole then fill it with water to settle soil around the roots. Allow for 38cm between rows. To blanch, draw up earth to stems as growth develops. Leeks do well on most soils especially if well prepared.
Sowing -> Cropping – 35-40 weeks.
