longest white shank: posted by peg on 2009-01-18 17:37:47; Comments:
The Lancelot Leeks may not be the fattest, but they have the longest white shank of any variety I've grown. Starting with the Dixondale plants gives me the headstart I need to mature these leeks in time for fall market sales in Arkansas.

I tried these a few years ago, from Dixondale. I planted them in compost ammended decomposed granite soil. I hilled them up as they grew. The final product was of excellent quality. I planted them in November and harvested them spring through early summer.

Bad leeks for 2009: posted by Julia Brabenec on 2009-11-13 22:39:12; Comments:
After growing your leeks for many years and always satisfied with their size and quality, this year's crop was very disappointing. At least 80 percent went to seed and were virtually unusable. I hesitate ordering them again, but since I was assured that they would be replaced free of charge in 2010, I will most likely try again. Otherwise, I have been very satisfied with Dixondale's onion plants every year since I began ordering.

Gone to seed 2009: posted by David Ritchie on 2009-12-01 21:28:02; Comments:
Virtually every plant went to seed in 2009. Friends had similar results.

good results with leeks: posted by hanne on 2010-01-12 08:50:41; Comments:
I planted leeks for the first time in my vegetable garden in central Arkansas in 2009. I feared this vegetable would not do well in the hot climate in this part of the country, but with good watering I had great results with the dixondale leeks. Actually I still have some in the garden from the 2009 planting and they taste delicious. Most of the leeks I harvested were less than 2 inch thick but tall. I submitted Dixondale leeks at the county fair and won a blue ribbon. Locals were surprised I could grow leeks in this part of the country. They just never tried.

I've grown these for a few years and have had excellent results, mainly because they are a good variety and I do plant them in a trench & keep them well weeded & watered WISCONSIN
