I just sowed my first seeds of the season, American Flag Leeks. I soak them 2 days before dense planting in a deep cup of seed starting soil. My seeds were from 2018, and it seems all 40 had little tails swimming in the soaking cup. I grow leeks in a raised bed which is filled with many years old miracle grow with a good buildup of leaf muclh. They do very well in the loose soil. T treat them to a snack of blue stull often. They are in full sun.
Wish I had seeds to share with you. I tried overwntering a few plants but they were a stinky mess come fall. I don't think they liked my climate , or it wasn't the right type for overwintering.
Dixondale sells one variety of leek plants. I grow these when I can find them locally in early spring. They are good quality, usuallu\y over half the bunch is very fat. It would be worth searching these out.
