Here you can see the leeks that have been planted out for about a week now and are coming along nicely. I have decided to test the "Pendle" leeks inside the poly tunnel this year using a new method by growing them in large pots with lots of holes in the bottom layed on a well manured ground with added fertilizers. Ive seen this method in action before and it seems to work well so i hope it works well for me. The "Welsh seedlings" have been planted outside in the raised and already require a higher support system which will have to wait until this weekend.





My onions have also been planted outside this year in the raised bed which are all supported with clips, canes, poles, anything you have handy to help A: keep the neck straight and B: To give the leaves some support to avoid them laying on the ground which can cause botrytis. You don't need to be to fussy about the leaves bending over as long as you avoid cracking the leaves this should not affect the onion, the supports are purely there for the above reasons.

My 250g onions are also ready to be planted out, these are called centro which came as a free trail from medwyns so will be interesting to see how they get on.



Pot leeks still looking crap:
