But I start them as seedlings indoors and then transplant them outside in deep drill holes made with a dibble, I would never have a long enough season to plant them directly outside as seeds.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-89624499207956169602013-11-12T09:41:44.417-08:002013-11-12T09:41:44.417-08:00Your leeks are beautiful.

They are both faster to mature than Kossak. I had bigger bulbs last year when I transplanted seedlings. This year the seed was direct sown. The timing was probably different too, but I'm not good at recording dates for fall plantings. Too much going on.<br /><br />They are small, but tasty, and braised with a carrot, it is the right size for a side dish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-82864476840587729512013-11-12T05:33:56.152-08:002013-11-12T05:33:56.152-08:00I'll have to check out Winner.

Maybe it's better suited to early plantings. I grew Winner this fall and it got normal sized.
