Leeks Seeds

Leeks are a versatile and flavorful vegetable, often used in soups, stews, and salads. They belong to the same family as onions and garlic but have a milder, sweeter taste. Growing leeks from seeds is a rewarding process, and they can thrive in the Indian climate with proper care.
Growing Leeks:
Sowing:
Seed Starting: Sow seeds indoors in seed trays or pots filled with a well-draining potting mix. Plant the seeds about 1 cm deep and cover them lightly with soil.
Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist. Seeds usually germinate within 10-14 days.
Transplanting:
Timing: Transplant seedlings when they are about 15-20 cm tall, which is typically 8-10 weeks after sowing.
Spacing: Space the seedlings 15-20 cm apart in rows that are 30-40 cm apart to allow enough room for growth.
Soil and Location:
Soil: Leeks prefer well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Work in compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
Location: Choose a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
