Keep tops trimmed to 2 inches and set out 2 weeks before the last frost; in warm climates, sow in summer for a fall harvest. Grow in full sun in well-drained, limed soil rich in organic matter, and blanch the stems by planting in a trench and filling in as they grow, or by hilling soil up around them. Harvest as needed, mulching heavily in cold climates to hold leeks in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMild and sweet with a gentle onion flavor and tender texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Grow Organic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow Organic, also known as Peaceful Valley, has supplied seeds, tools, and growing supplies to organic gardeners and farmers since 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Pack","offer_id":50394529988886,"sku":"SNV8330","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1oz","offer_id":50394530021654,"sku":"SNV8330B","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5555\/8422\/files\/organic-leek-varna.jpg?v=1755812404","url":"https:\/\/madelines.sbs\/products\/varna-leek-seeds-organic","provider":"Madeline's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
