Have you ever tried Leek & Potato soup? I'm sure you would like it. Leeks can be great to cook with.<br /><br />Laura, The only thing left at the plots are some Broccoli & Cauliflower plants that were attacked by the groundhog. I'm not counting on anything from them....but, you you never know!<br /><br />Ginny, Leeks take quite a while to grow. You have to start them early.<br /><br />Hi Howard, I'm not sure what zone you live in. Here, I start them inside in February and plant them outside in April. They are usually ready in the fall. This year some of mine were ready late in the summer.<br /><br />Barbie, So I guess you have baby leeks! Just leave them in the garden. They will grow.<br /><br />Thanks Mary, Hopefully you'll find some seeds....if not, the onions will have to do!<br /><br />Wilderness, I think that leeks are much easier to grow then onions. I only grew onions from seed one time. They were the worst onions that I ever grew. <br /><br />Mrs.P, Maybe you need to start your leeks a little earlier inside. They are slow growers!<br /><br />Jane, I have always left my leeks in the ground. I would just wait for a warm enough day to dig some out of the snow.<br /><br />Mac, Leeks have always grown very well for me. Maybe it's the variety you are growing or lack of patience!<br /><br />Norma, Yes they are. We love cooking with leeks!<br /><br />Lou, I have better luck with leeks then onions. Oh well, we can't be good at growing everything....although it is every gardeners dream!<br /><br />Thanks Perdita, I'm happy to hear that you like the pic. I'm really don't like it all that much....but, it was the only fall gardening pic that I had.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-20950214459567071612011-11-14T19:30:01.609-05:002011-11-14T19:30:01.609-05:00Such good lookin' leeks!
