About Leek
Leeks are cold-hardy slow-growing vegetables that can be harvested well into autumn and even winter.
Start indoors in late winter — leeks need a very long season. Transplant deeply to blanch stems. Harvest after first frosts — cold improves flavour. Very cold-hardy surviving to -10°C.
Gardening in Louisiana
Louisiana has a humid subtropical climate with very mild winters and long hot summers. Year-round cool-season growing is possible; the summer is the only limiting factor.
