Baby/mini leeks are used for salad, stir-fries, soups and stews.
Children like them because they are pretty, mild and different.
To grow baby/mini leeks:
* space close together in the row
* sow in a small garden, an allotment, or in containers on the patio
* liquid feed weekly if grown in a container
* harvest 16–20 weeks after sowing, when still young,tender and full
of flavour
* use immediatley, as mini veg do not store well
* make successive sowings throughout the growing season for a
continual supply.
