I recently went through and picked the final winners in my seed leek trial. This time I went for some short stout ones, but all were still probably at least 18 inches long. I think size and up to almost 3 inches diameter are probably a little more practical than the really tall and somewhat more slender ones. the leeks will now flower in their new home and seed should be ready by fall.
It's time to select the best leeks and move them to new spot in the garden to flower and seed. They are transplanted, mulched and supports put in place. They should be fine for the summer with a little bit of water and the seed will be saved in the fall.
