I planted my leek seeds around 3 weeks ago in polystyrene boxes... But they r not growing at all.. Not even seedlings have appeared..:-/ is thr any way I could save them.. Does putting like a cover later at night like a plastic would help them germinate faster as I normally don't grow in seed trays... Any ideas to save my plants would be highly appreciated:)

Hi Stella, Leek seeds (like most in the onion family) take longer to germinate and appear than most other vegetables. Have patience and don't panic.
