Growing Leeks

[clasher]

I have ordered 15 leek plants and am looking for the best advice on how to grow them. Some say earthing up as they grow, others say tubes. Any help would be gratefully received as this is one vegetable I have never grown. Thanks hopefully in advance, Regards Clasher

The Royal horticultural Society ought to know how to do it!

Isn't it a bit late to be planting leeks?

An old lady asked her female friend how she was getting on.

The friend replied "Not so good, Ted died last night. I asked him to dig up a leek for me so that I could make Leek and Potato soup. He went into the garden, had a massive heart attack and died instantly"

"Oh you poor thing" replied the old lady. "What did you do?"

"I opened a can of peas instead."
