Many of our savory and warming winter soups integrate leeks that we may pick from the garden from late summer and allround fall and winter. These hardy mild alliums are slower growing than onions, but make up for their late maturity by surviving in the garden in winter. Super-hardy leeks are actually rather easy to grow. Plan to plant leek seeds in flats indoors in mid to late winter. Not only are you giving them a head start, it is good therapy for us gardeners to see new green shoots even in the dead of winter! Leeks have a long 120 to 140 day growing season, and if you commence them in January or February, fast growing cultivars will mature in late summer while the hardier more conventional leeks will be ready for fall and winter harvesting. You may likewise plant leek seeds directly in the garden up to four weeks before the last frost. As they grow, thin the seedlings to in regards to one inch isolated in the flat. When they are in regards to six inches tall, harden them off by moving the whole flat outdoors to a sheltered emplacement for a few days. Plant the leeks in rich and deeply dug somewhat acid soil that has a amount of humus and compost. Prepare the planting area by digging a trench that is with regards to 6 inches deep and just as wide. Plant the seedlings in the bottom of the trench, spacing them when it comes to 6 inches apart. The idea of a trench is to leave space to cover the bulb and lower stalk gradually as the plants grow. If you plant them on the surface, the tough green leaves will start out much lower to the bulb stem, and you will not have much edible stalk. When the leaves are with regards to 8 inches tall, rake in some fine soil, when it comes to an inch deep around the leek plants. Do this each three weeks or so, keeping the soil level just beneath where the green leaves emerge from the base stem. This will support the plant grow a longer blanched bulb stem, which, of course, is what you want. Remember also to keep your leeks well watered. Fertilizing each month or so with well rotted and sterilized manure, compost tea or fish emulsion will support supply the plants’ heavy nitrogen demands. By late summer or early fall the trench will have to be filled in altogether around the leek plants, and the leeks will have thick strong leaves and a long tender blanched stem. Before winter sets in, pile ten or twelve inches of mulch around the leeks to keep the soil warmer and to protect the leeks from uttermost cold. Straw, arid leaves or old sawdust make good mulches. As winter arrives, your leeks will proceed growing, and will weather snow and cold rather well. Dig just as a good deal of as you need at one time. If you have managed to get the mulch in place early sufficient to stop freezing of the soil, you will be competent to harvest leeks and receive pleasure from them fresh from your garden all around the winter months. |
