Our whole site has been hit.   We had the same problem last year.  I put In 120 ( hey I like leeks) and I've got about 90 left.  About 20 of which still have little chance of making it through to Winter.  Ther rest of them might struggle too.  Very bleak.

We grew them from seed outside in raised beds this year so I thought they might be a bit toughter. 

I feel really bad as we gave away our remaining baby leeks (well over 400 plants) this summer so hardly anyone bothered to grow had any substitue plants.  Now it's too late to order any baby leeks.  D'oh! 

I hate buying leeks.
