Leeks in October: Growing Over 100 Days

Leeks are in the onion family. I planted my leeks from seeds in seed trays. They were very easy to transplant. I over planted in seed cells and gently broke the leeks into single strands. I think I planted most of them in June.

I ate them through the summer and the pictures below are leeks I let grow. The look even better now mid October.

You can see the leeks coming up around the fallen blackberry brambles. The leek greens are good to eat too.

You can see the remains of newspaper I used as mud and disease barrier for cumbers that were grown next to the leeks.

Another bunch of leeks, I planted more closely together. The weeds are around but the garden still holds vegetables I can eat.
