Leeks.
. 100 days. Extra cold hardy and fancy with 7 to 8-inch edible stems and 2 inches thick. These elongated, mild onions need a long growing season and soft, rich soil that has been deeply dug. A steady supply of water during dry summer periods is essential. The seedlings are grown in small pots and should be separated before planting. The easiest way to loosen them for separation is to slip the mass of plants out of their container and dunk them in a pail of water and swish them around to loosen the soil. They are then easy to separate. Plant in a wide, 4 to 5-inch deep trench. As the leeks grow, gradually fill the trench, eventually mounding soil around them. The part of the leek that is underground produces the tender, long, white edible stem. Leeks are a wonderful crop for fall and winter and bring a special flavor to soups (especially sorrel soup) and stews. They will over winter in our area, but they should be harvested before weather warms.Last Seed Source: www.johnnyseeds.com
Lettuce
Lettuces are the spring garden's great treasure. They flourish in cool weather, especially when temperatures are between 45°F and 75°F. A site with rich, loose soil and a minimum of 4 hours of direct sun is needed; pH range 6 to 6.8. Eight to 12-inch spacing is usually adequate. Grow greens fast and lush with plenty of manure and side-dressings of liquid fertilizer. Don't stint on the water when it is dry. Pick leaves when you want them; there is no need to wait for heads to form, in fact the leaves are tastiest when they are small. Because our schedule is so hectic in the early spring, we rarely have the chance to plant lettuces in the ground. We maintain several plants in their small pots and cut half of them every 4 to 7 days for exquisitely sweet and tender salads. Harvesting begins when plants are about 4 to 6 inches tall, cutting the entire plant to about one inch above the soil level. We usually get 4 or 5 harvests from each plant this way. Extend the lettuce season by using some shade-cloth over your plants. The number of days following each variety indicates the approximate length of time from transplant to full maturity during mild weather. Available through April.
