Allium ampeloprasum## HOW TO GROW LEEK Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost, plant out 2 weeks before frost. For fall harvest, transplant 16 weeks before first frost, withou t additional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked. Transplant when seedlings reach 10-16” tall or are pencil thick, transplant 6” deep. Blanch stems by hilling soil 2–3 times during the summer.
