Description
Jolant is a very early variety with a mild flavour. You can use for mini-veg or grow on to harvest form August onwards. It grows vigorously and gives a high-density stem. Not only is the leek a well known tasty winter vegetable, but its root system has the added advantage of improving heavy soils. Leeks are in the ground for quite a long time and do take a fair amount of work, but they really are worth all that effort; so its not surprising they will be found on almost every vegetable plot. Delicious when sliced, boiled and covered in cheese sauce for a tasty addition to a roast dinner. When to Sow: January to February under glass or March to April outdoors. Where To Sow: Early sowings can be made under glass. Sow the seed into pots or trays and cover the seed with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. For Outdoor sowings, sow the seed thinly, 1.5cm (1/2in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Water ground regularly, especially during dry periods. What to do next: Once early sowings have germinated transplant into individual pots and grow on under glass until April before moving to a cold frame to harden off before planting out at 25-30cm (10-12in) apart in the row and 45cm (18in) between rows. Outdoor sowings once large enough to handle, carefully lift plants and transplant to the same spacings as above using a trowel or dibber, and water in. Harvest: August to December. Handy Tip: If growing for mini leeks, plant at a closer spacing of 10-15cm (4-6") apart and harvest when small like spring onions. Nutritional Value: High in folic acid, potassium, pro-vitamin A and vitamin C.
