Pot Leeks
Most Allotment growers will tell you that the month of March is the leanest time for harvesting anything edible on the allotment. My one true stalwart this year has to be my Pot Leeks, this variety Cairngorm was available as seed last year. I am really very pleased with these Cairngorm Pot Leeks. Even after several weeks of snow and freezing conditions, they are nice and firm, no frost damage, not soft, and the most important thing of all is they taste wonderful! I've tried several different varieties of leeks over the past years, some better than others. These are wonderful!

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been trying to decide which variety I should go for and you have just made my choice easier.
Sounds like the perfect veg!
The trusty leek, I will look for this variety as it looks great. I salvaged
what was left on our 'old' plot but they were not nearly as good as your specimen, it would take about 4 to stir fry a portion for one.I've been reading down your posts and shocked to see you had quite severe flooding, it will be a while before you can start digging but the rhubarb seems to be thriving!
What kinds of vegetable is this? Is this radish?
Looks fantastic!!

I always forget to sow leeks and yet it's a vegetable I love, especially small ones. It's a question of fitting it all in (I've just made an asparagus bed) but I'm gradually seeing some potential in unloved corners of the community garden so perhaps, next winter ...
Oh that's a big old leek :) But honestly I love your ruler the most, I'm a stationery geek xxxx
