Master Class in Transplanting Leeks

A couple of weeks ago, the tame photographer was with me as I transplanted the leeks from their seed bed position to their new home and he took photos of every stage.

First the leeks had their roots trimmedand likewise their leaves to about six inches
Then, using the dibber that had been left in the shed, I made holes about six inches deep, and about six inches apart and dropped a newly trimmed leek into each hole. (a good tip here - I used a pen and marked a line about six inches from the bottom, so I knew how deep to push in the dibber)
Finally, each hole is filled with water and the leek is settled into its new home for the next three or four months.
