A superb garden variety. Leek Oarsman has good early vigour, bulking up quickly, with dark, erect foliage and uniform pure white, long stems with no sign of bulbing. Midseason maturity with very good rust and bolting tolerance, keeping in good condition over a long period until required for the kitchen
A very tasty, high yielding variety which offers good tolerance to the cold and therefore can be sown slightly earlier in the season than other varieties. Offers excellent uniformity, vigour and good disease resistance, particularly to rust. To harvest, simply pull as and when required by carefully lifting with a fork.
If you can't wait for the autumn leek harvest, use Leek Lincoln to bring your crops into summer! An early spring sowing will lead to medium sized clean white shanks for picking in late summer. With little risk of bolting and inbuilt disease resistance, it also stands well in the soil for harvest right through autumn - if you have the restraint to leave some of the tender, full flavoured shanks in the ground that long!
The ideal choice if you want a great autumn harvest of long, white stems which don?t become rounded or bulb-like at the base.
