Homegrown Leek – How to Do It

Planting leek plants is a simple yet important process. As soon as you've ordered your leek plants and they've been delivered to your home, you can get started right away. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a furrow about 15 cm deep and space each plant 10 to 15 cm apart. Transplanting the young leek plants into the ground is a crucial step for healthy growth. Spacing the leek plants is important to give the stems enough room to develop properly.

Don't fill the furrows completely; let the soil gradually fall back as the plants grow. This will create beautiful, long, white stems – exactly what you want with home-grown leeks.

Winter leeks can be harvested until the end of March. Winter leek plants are available from July 1st to approximately August 10th.

Leek plant varieties and cultivars

You know it: you dream of that perfect leek from your own garden, bursting with flavor and just the way you like it. The secret? Making the right choice among all the different varieties and cultivars available. Because leeks aren't just any leeks—each variety has its own unique character. When buying leek plants, it's important to pay attention to their thickness; choose sturdy plants that are at least the thickness of a pencil. Healthy leek plants have firm, dark green or grayish-green foliage and shouldn't show any signs of pest or disease damage. By choosing wisely, you can tailor your harvest to your preferences and what thrives in your garden.

There are three main groups you can explore: summer leeks, autumn leeks, and winter leeks. Summer leeks are a real fast-growing variety and ideal if you can't wait to harvest. Summer leeks are harvested from mid-July to early September. Autumn leeks are a bit more robust and aren't easily overwhelmed by autumn weather, while winter leeks are truly hardy—they can even withstand a hard frost. Winter leeks can stay outside all winter. Convenient, isn't it? With the right mix, you can have fresh leeks on the table all year round.

The variety you choose depends on a few helpful factors: your local weather, your soil type, and when you'd like to harvest. Our tip: by starting your young plants in a greenhouse or tunnels for a while, you can extend the season considerably. A greenhouse ensures vigorous, uniform growth of your leek plants, while tunnels offer protection during the transition between different growing methods and guarantee the quality of the plants. Give them enough space to flourish – and you'll have strong, healthy plants you can be proud of.

There are a few real winners that we're also very happy with. 'Monarch' and 'Apollo' are known for their excellent flavor and quality, while 'Winterkeeper' and 'Snowball' are true winter heroes that keep for a long time. Winter leek plants are recognizable by their dark green foliage. By combining your knowledge with the experience of other gardeners, you'll make a choice that will make you happy.
