Leeks Harvest Program
Extend Your Leeks Harvest
This leek program takes the guesswork out of planting so you can get the best yield and quality over the longest harvest season.
- Start by using the chart to pick varieties for each expected harvest window: 1) summer, 2) late summer to fall, 3) late fall to winter, 4) winter.
- Then sow or transplant several varieties with different maturities all at once.
- Finally, harvest them one after another. From a single spring planting, each variety comes ready in its own season: the less hardy leeks grow faster, and the most cold-hardy ones take longer.
