Hi Adrienne, I sow all my leeks in modules, about 8 seeds in each and then plant them as clumps in the tunnel at 20x20cm. These grow quickly and make really good sized plants that can then be dug out with a trowel, separated and set out to final position OR left in situ to be used as baby leeks when about finger thickness-my favourite way of eating leeks, roasted whole with fresh Thyme. Zermatt is a good variety to use for baby leeks. All my full size outdoor leeks got destroyed by Allium leaf minor last year too. Robin
