I know you can use them for things besides leek and potato soup, but since I quit growing potatoes, the leeks just don't seem as necessary anymore.

So far mine are looking very good. I haven't had a bolting problem, but leeks are biennials. If you have a cold streak and then it warms up again, they can think it is spring and bolt. Why some and not others, who knows.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-40889710137406896892015-07-14T21:18:17.565+01:002015-07-14T21:18:17.565+01:00Your leeks are amazing!

I'll need to look at my husband's tool box to see if I can find something similar. That's such a neat way of planting. Particularly for leeks or plants of the same size.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-19482056264861475392015-07-14T14:04:58.843+01:002015-07-14T14:04:58.843+01:00They look great.
