Leek Carenten is an excellent, organically raised variety featuring strong and upright stems. It has superb flavour and can be harvested over a long period. Delicious in soups and stews. Leeks can be grown in full sun and well drained soil.

Sow seeds in a seed tray or punnet at a depth of 15mm. Thin as necessary and transplant to the growing position when 20cm tall, avoiding damage to roots. Make successive sowings for a continuous supply. Harvest when stems are 25mm thick, usually about 16 weeks from sowing. Sow in spring through to Autumn.
