| | Leek (vegetable) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Leek cultivars can be subdivided in several ways, but the chiefest is "summer leeks", intended for harvest in the season when planted, and overwintering leeks, meant to be harvested in the spring of the year following planting. | | | Summer leek types are generally smaller than overwintering types; overwintering types are generally more strongly flavored. | | | Once established in the garden, leeks are hardy; many varieties can be left in the ground during the winter to be harvested as needed. |

| | Leek seeds are sown directly in the soil, or seedlings may be transplanted. | | | Plants are blanched by gradually building up the soil around their bases, a process that keeps the edible portion white and tender. | | | Plants are spaced about 5 cm (2 in) apart in the row and mature in about 150 days. |

| | How to grow your Leek Vegetable. |
| | Although the leek vegetable is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, they grow best on a moist, light soil that has been heavily manured from a previous crop. | | | Choosing the site for sowing leeks may be influenced by the fact that they are generally left in the ground to be dug as required during the winter months, and can remain in the ground for a year or more. | | | You can sow early under glass and have leeks ready for harvesting in the autumn, but it is really during the winter and early spring that they are most welcome. |

| | The Noble Leek: A Vegetable for All Seasons |
| | The bare-bones method involves simply putting the seeds in the ground as soon as the soil is workable in early spring. | | | If your aim is to grow jumbo leeks, though, you may want to start them indoors during the winter, and then about March (be sure the seedlings have developed second leaves) transplant them into your garden. | | | Otherwise, it's best to collect the vegetables and either set them in soil in a greenhouse or root cellar, wrap them in plastic and pop them into the refrigerator (where they'll keep for about three weeks), or steam-blanch and freeze them. |

| | The large majority of vegetables are planted by seeding in the fields, but occasionally they are germinated in a nursery or greenhouse and transplanted as seedlings to the field. | | | Because weed control is the most important function of cultivation, this work should be performed at the most favourable time for weed killing, when the weeds are breaking through the soil surface. | | | The time of planting depends on the crop. |

| | Cut off the hairs of the leeks and then cut off the green tops (you only want to use the white part and the light green part of the leeks). | | | In order to keep so much of the leeks white, sand is piled up around the stem so it can often get inside and stay there. | | | Soak in cold water for several minutes; then separate leaves under running water to rinse away any clinging grit; drain. |
