Growing Notes Leeks take a long time to grow; the seeds are super tiny so they are tricky to germinate outside without getting washed away. Be patient with leeks!
Battle of the BugsThere’s a leek moth, but I’ve not seen one yet (maybe because our leeks have failed miserably so far).
Fun FactIf you cut a leek and leave the roots/stem, plant it and it might re-grow for you!
Don’t Waste It!Enjoy leeks as you would the other alliums.
