Leek
Leek
Leek, such a delicious vegetable that accompanies many recipes of Greek cuisine! It is distinguished by its long thin neck, narrow green leaves that start from a white bulb that forms inside the soil. Leeks belong to the same family as onions and garlic. It is usually planted in autumn and produces in winter or early spring.
Because leeks have a relatively shallow root system, they need relatively regular watering. Especially in periods when we don’t have much rainfall, we should water abundantly and not let the soil dry out. Leeks are quite demanding in their fertilization. When preparing the soil before planting it is important to incorporate manure and complete organic fertilizer. Also, it is necessary to add organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen twice during cultivation.

Spinach Baby
Spinach BabySpinach needs cool weather and sunny locations to grow and thrive in the fall season. It is also particularly resistant to low winter temperatures.

We plant spinach in fertile, fluffy soil, enriched in nutrients that ensure good growth. Till the soil well before planting and incorporate compost, well-digested manure and complete organic fertilizer.
