Leek seeds - Musselburgh
Traditional and still very popular variety.

Established, popular variety. Excellent cold tolerance.
Leeks are high in folic acid, potassium, and Vitamins A and C. 

Leeks prefer ordinary well drained soil in sun or semi-shade and can follow early peas or potatoes. Sow the musselburgh seeds in early spring outdoors in a well prepared seed bed or inside in containers. Sow seeds thinly 1cm deep in drills 23cm apart.


Transplant the seedlings in early summer carefully and plant 15x40 cm apart, make 15cm deep holes and insert the seedlings as far as the first leaf. Then fill the hole with water, not with soil. Earth up the stems as growth develops.

Crops from October-March.
