Hi all! I know they've been in their seed tray too long - but just dug some out to move them into bigger quarters or onto the plot, and they have formed small onion bulbs - not like leeks at all. Leaves are flat so I know they WERE leeks at some point. Is it worth me planting them out? Advice please!

Quite a few do that, the tops catch up later on......you might get a little bulbing at the bottom but you'll still get the leekiness on the stems.
Bung em in!!!

Don't panic me........... My leeks are running riot in their polystyrene fish box and I still haven't got anywhere to bung them until my dwarf beans stop producing...

Leeks usually do this when they have become potbound......................time to get them planted out methinks where they'll romp away leaps and bounds and loose their bulbishness!

Carrots & chinese radish with aims to do the same with the other bags including a big winter purple radish.....
I want the leeks close to home cause I use them a lot in winter, I've got about 80 odd to go in but the dwarf yellows have lasted longer than I gave them credit for

bless them, as you only cut the beans off at ground height, can you not put some in under the foliage, and around the beans so that a few can get a head start?

That's pretty much what I've decided to do, guess what I'm doing Saturday afternoon
