I just transplanted a few leeks yesterday, and have another pot to go, so I'm glad of some cultural recommendations, being a total newbie to leeks. I'll definitely add a bit more compost/organic fertilizer!
I'm harvesting lots of garlic and onions right now, and am waiting for squash, beans, and tomatoes...
