Soaking needs to be done at least a few hours before planting, and preferably overnight. To prevent damping off when starting seeds indoors, it’s essential that you disinfect all of your plastic grow trays, seed cells, and seedling tray covers before you reuse them. Summer leek Bulgarian Giant originates from Bulgary. It's a very popular, fast growing Northern European variety with very long, thin stems. Leeks Bulgarian Giant grows straight up from the ground, the flat leaves growing up from a cylindrical, rounded bulb, overlapping each other in a concentric pattern. The tops of the leaves, referred to as ‘flags,’ are dark green with a bluish tint, and tough. They fan out at the top of the stalk, like the fronds of a palm tree. The flat Leek leaves can grow up to nearly a meter in height, the bulb sitting shallow in the dirt, around 8 centimetres (3 to 4 inches) long. The edible part of the leaf stalk averages of 30 to 35 centimetres (13 inches) in height, up to 5 centimetres in diameter, and is a light green colour. Leeks have a flavour that is milder than an onion, with a slight sweetness.
