Leek ‘Lancaster’ F1 (Allium porum)
Lancaster is one of the newer types of leek bred for an extended harvest period from February through to October. It can be sown from July until February. Can be sown in seed trays or in outside seed beds. When the seedlings are as thick as a pencil they can be planted into their permanent position by dibbling a hole 15cm deep and dropping the seedling into it. A few centimetres of leaves need to extend above the soil surface. Don’t firm the soil but water the seedling in.
