All the alliums can be eaten as scallions, leeks included.  Spring planted 
leeks will be fully mature by the early fall but being biennials, they will 
wait 
around in that state until the next spring.  You use them anytime before they 
go into their second year's growth ... at which time they sac everything to 
put up the seed stalk.

So you plant the seed now and eat them at any stage until this time next year.
