Growing Leeks

I grow leeks from seed, but they take sooooooooo long to get anywhere near a size I can use (about 9 months). Is this normal or is something the matter? Any advice on best conditions to grow leeks greatly appreciated.

This is normal. They can often be in the ground for up to a year. One to avoid if space is limited. Or if you are impatient!
