    Hi all – new member but long time fans of CD’s How to Grow Winter Vegetables!!
    Having taken up the mantra of maximum production possible I was wondering if you could sow late leeks after the summer garlic is lifted in the same bed or are we risking disease by growing 2 lots of onion family in same bed in same year?

     Hello Guy, glad you like WV book and your question is a good one because it touches on the confusing subject of rotation.

    You can follow with plants of the same family (last year I grew cabbage then kale and broad then French beans in the same year), so garlic followed by leeks can work though I presume you mean planting leeks (from April sowing) rather than sowing them after garlic. Bandit is a good variety for that.
