Planting out

Today I managed a quick 90 minutes up on lottie.  I long for more time up there, but time is limited these days and I am sure it speeds up the minute I enter the site! 

I managed to plant out the leeks today, as rain is forecast for the next two days and it might help them to establish securely.    I have lyon prizewinner and Pandora varieties, and found myself with enough leeks to have 8 rows, so that should keep us going for a while  over winter! 

The secret (shh) is to dig in loads of well rotted manure prior to planting out, and use a dibber, pop them in the whole and 'puddle' them in with lots of water.
