Grow Your Own Winter Feast

1. Sowing (Feb-Apr): Start indoors in deep cells or sow directly outdoors (May-Jun). Keep soil warm (18°C) for fast germination (7-14 days).
2. Planting Out (Apr-May): Get an early harvest by starting under glass and transplanting when frost-free. For outdoor sowing, transplant seedlings once stems thicken.
3. Spacing & Care: Plant 15cm deep, 20cm apart, with rows 30cm apart. Water well, weed regularly, and mound soil around stalks for extra white tenderness.
4. Harvest & Savour: Musselburgh is a winter leek, ready from October right through to March. It’ll stand happily in the ground through the cold, so you can lift them as you need them.

Tips for Beginners

• Use a dibber for easy, deep planting.
• Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Don’t be afraid to ask experienced gardeners for help!
