Leek American Flag Seed (Allium - ampeloprassum porrum)
Europeans have savored the delicious, sweet, subtle onion flavor of leeks for centuries, but this heirloom vegetable is gaining popularity with gourmets and cooks in the U.S. Leeks are an onion relative with compact stems that thicken, but do not form bulbs like onions. The appealing white stems have a creamy yellow heart that can be eaten fresh, grilled, saut饤, and added to soups and stews. Leeks are cold tolerant and can be left in the garden into fall for an extended harvest. This packet plants: one 25-foot row.
When to plant outside: Like onions, leeks are a long season crop ? the earlier you can sow, the better! Sow in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the average last frost for late summer harvest, and sow in late spring for fall harvest. In mild winter climates, you can sow in late summer for spring harvest.
When to start inside: 8-10 weeks before the average last spring frost.
Special Germination Instructions: Sow seeds or transplant seedlings into 6? deep trenches. (Sowing depth for seeds is still ??.) As plants grow, pile an inch or two of soil around the lower portion to make it white and mild.
