Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Leeks prefer well-drained, limed soil, rich in organic matter. You can either fill a 6"-8" trench with compost and fill up the trench as the leeks grow, or plant at surface level and hill them up.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Keep tops trimmed to 2" and set out 2 weeks before last frost. In warm climates, seed is usually sown in summer for a fall harvest. Leeks overwinter in mild climates.
Harvesting & Storage: In freezing climates, leeks should be stored in cool, moist conditions. Many gardeners mulch the ground heavily in winter and harvest directly from the ground as needed.

Let customers speak for us
from 9120 reviewsThe first time I used it, I turned it on and about 5 minutes later I looked out the window and all I saw was a geyser coming out. The sprinkler hed had unscrewed. (I did not check it before I used it). I put it back in and made sure it was tight and it has been working GREAT ever since. So far I really like it and the birds like it also.
I was looking for something durable, light, and affordable. This ticks all the marks. I use it for tools, not vegetables. But it could be used for anything.
I live in a fairly humid climate. I could never successfully grow zucchini until I found these seeds. The plants seem to not be affected by it. Good germination rate. Happy with purchase.
Good quality, healthy little Katy Apricot trees. As described at a great price. Grow Organic is a quality seller that will be my go-to nursery.
The Save a Branch supports are wonderful. Our Peach tree is loaded and the branches were bending down quite a bit. Several neighbors lost branches on their trees but ours are supported and doing very well. Great product.
Planted 80 seeds that were 2 years old and had 60-70% germination rate. It was an easy to use product and I had so much left over that I shared it with a friend.
Good quality. I would buy it again
yum
Received very fast the seeds packet, will be using it this fall.
These plants are incredible nearly every seed sprouted and I planted them all around my garden between tomatoes, squash, etc. they now nearly 6 feet tall and I’ve started harvesting some of the flowers for tea
His crew great as well been eating about a month now
So far these seeds are growing great! I had a great germination success rate! I would definitely buy it again!
My family very love this variety of cucumbers for pickling. Seed's are very productive and delicious cucumbers.
Hard to find a good flower fertilizer….this one does the job!
This fertilizer in pellet form is soo easy to sprinkle around the garden. Breaks down slowly to provide months of food for my veggies.
