This Year’s Two Types of Blanch Leeks
I am growing two types of blanch leeks this year in the three long beds in the bottom polytunnel. Two of the beds will be taken up with the cleaned up Welsh seedling leek which is looking very vigorous indeed and ready for planting out in the beds as soon as I’m happy that the soil temperatures are warm enough. The third bed will be taken up with the Peter Clark leek which has a different type of foliage to the Welsh seedling and more resembles the older exhibition leek that most people grew before the Welsh seedling from Ivor Mace came on the scene.
