I have to say that the dull weather we experienced throughout June certainly helped towards having a more even growth rate as well as preventing the foliage from being burnt. This is a general problem with the Welsh leek as the thick foliage seems to part in two with the rippling and bubbling of the upper layer making the thin epidermis or cuticle very vulnerable to the direct rays of the sun.
