Sometimes it works out fine and sometimes it doesn't. I'm still trying to figure out which veg would benefit from having a backup supply.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-1741762898447042522015-07-24T15:45:51.592+01:002015-07-24T15:45:51.592+01:00I have Leeks of 3 different varieties, so hopefull...I have Leeks of 3 different varieties, so hopefully they will mature over a reasonably long period.

Or do you harvest them in winter? Today I was pulling some green onions that were as large as leeks. I should have picked them ages ago as they were taking over the lettuce bed.
