Tag Archives: Leeks

Comfrey, broccoli, strawberries, leeks, wintergreen, huckleberry, currants, herbs making a showing.

Tried seeding some comfrey in float trays day before yesterday.

Planted out some more broccoli from Walmart.

The strawberries are in bloom.

Planted out some more leeks.

Dug up some raspberry starts for trade and to send some to Mallie.

Planted out the wintergreen and huckleberry from ebay. Not impressed with the teaberry but the huckleberry is probably ok.

Rec’d and planted out the 2 red currant. They are looking pretty good. Nice large plants from Jung I believe.

The mint, echinacea, calendula, sage, valerian is all sending out new growth. the bee balm, catnip and St. John’s wort are fairly large as are the yarrow

Oh No More Leeks!

60 turned into 260 which is turning into at least another 60. It all started simply enough. Order some leek transplants since the lack of a greenhouse pretty much insures no leek harvest here. 60 should be more than we will ever need I thought. I was pleasently surprised when my bundle of leeks came from Park Seed several weeks ago. There were at least 70 large sturdy transplants and another almost 200 of smaller transplants. Since the ground has been so wet they went into float trays temporarily. (see previous post) Well last night I received an email telling me that they had sent out my 60 leeks… yesterday. More leeks? No its the Egyptian Walking Onions I am waiting for I wrote in my reply email. Well this evening I learned that the EWO were sold out when I ordered them (nice of them to keep them in the online catalog and they are still there as of this morning). They didn’t have an record of sending me any leeks so they sent the order out. So… I have enough leeks for the tri-state area but still no Egyptian Walking Onions. Anybody want to trade some leeks for walking onions?
