Hi, I worked for 5 years in a garden with a lady who was very experienced at growing veg. We always sowed leeks seeds in a pot then pricked them out in to longer pots when they were large enough to handle. After a few weeks more, prior to planting them out, I had to trim the roots and tops of the leeks. Is this still considered good practice? I always thought it slowed the plants down but her opinion was that it formed a stronger, healthier plant. I still do it but was wondering if I should this year. Any advice and opinions would be welcome. Also my daughter and I picked our 1st cucumber this morning!! As it's been too cold to put it outside, it's grown in my dining room!!
