Leek Mammoth Pot

Mammoth Blanch is a superior exhibition variety with extra long white blanch and thick, broad flag. Sow from mid-January to early March at 15°C. Do not overwater seedlings as this may cause damping off. Harden off and plant out from early May.

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 its not surprising they will be found on almost every vegetable plot.

The leek is the most important ingredient in two of the world famous soups; Scotland’s cock-a-leekie and France’s crème vichyssoise.
