I have always wanted to grow leeks. There is something unique and mysterious about a leek. I made a few feeble attempts to grow hem in the past and failed. But the last couple years were different. I read up on how to grow them. Then I planted seeds in a flat in February and let them grow. In the spring when they looked like thin blades of grass I transplanted them into rows in the garden. Throughout the season I weeded and hilled them a few times. Then I mulched them with thick straw. They grew beautifully and a few weeks ago I started harvesting lovely leeks.
