Leeks

Post by diamond lil »

Got quite a lot of leeks, wondering what to do next. How to preserve them and recipes to use them in . Anybody got any ideas?

You don't need to preserve leeks-just dig them when needed .Why make work?

As you are so far north,they will go to seed about April/May.But...you could save the seed when they have flowered.Look it up.You only need to leave 6 in the ground.
