Leek Musselburgh

Price £ 1.70

Short description

Musselburgh is the most popular variety for its strong growing habit. It is very winter hardy producing thick stems and will be ready from December onwards. Not only is the leek a well known tasty winter vegetable, but its root system has the added advantage of improving heavy soils. Leeks are in the ground for quite a long time and do take a fair amount of work, but they really are worth all that effort; so it's not surprising they will be found on almost every vegetable plot. Leek is the staple and most important ingredient in two world-famous soups. Scotland's cock-a-leekie and France's crème vichyssoise.

Where To Sow
Early sowings can be made under glass. Sow the seed into pots or trays and cover the seed with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. For Outdoor sowings, sow the seed thinly, 1.5cm (1/2in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart in soil that has been raked to a fine tilth. Water ground regularly, especially during dry periods.

What to do next
Once early sowings have germinated transplant into individual pots and grow on under glass until April before moving to a cold frame to harden off before planting out at 25-30cm (10-12in) apart in the row and 45cm (18in) between rows. Outdoor sowings once large enough to handle, carefully lift plants and transplant to the same spacings as above using a trowel or dibber, and water in.

MATURITY
November to February

HANDY TIP
If planting using a dibber, make a hole and drop in plant and water in the hole. Do not fill holes with soil.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE
High in folic acid, potassium, pro-vitamin A and vitamin C.
