Hi all, I planted half a tray of leeks and shallots in a modular tray, they are all now identical in shape and size but like an idiot I forgot to label them up.
How can I tell which is which at this early stage.? I guess they're about 6 weeks old now.
Many thanks, John

I'll try that but to me above ground they are identical
Thanks for taking the time to answer

Can you explore gently with a pointed label or a small fingertip around one of the plants to see if there's a young shallot under there? Even if you damaged it you'd only lose one plant... But aren't the leek shoots slenderer than the shallots?
