Thin seedlings and transplant 6\" apart about 2 weeks before the last frost into well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Keep the stems covered with loose soil to keep them bright white, and mulch heavily in cold climates. Leeks overwinter well in milder regions and can be harvested as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Grow Organic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow Organic offers a wide range of organic gardening supplies, from seeds and fertilizers to tools and growing essentials, supporting home gardeners and small farms alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Pack","offer_id":50394527531286,"sku":"SNV8072","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1oz","offer_id":50394527564054,"sku":"SNV8072B","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5555\/8422\/files\/organic-leek-american-flag.jpg?v=1755812398","url":"https:\/\/madelines.sbs\/products\/american-flag-leek-seeds-organic","provider":"Madeline's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
