Skinny leeks

Hi, my leeks, which I planted months ago, are still looking a bit on the skinny side. Is that my lot or are they likely to grow a bit more?

Hi, thanks for your quick response

Last year, our leeks increased in girth considerably between October and March and that was despite a sever winter. We lifted the remainder in March and froze them.

Hopefully yours will develop a bit more.

Break the flower heads off - there will still be a flower stalk running down the middle of the leek which some people surgically remove before eating but I'm not that fussy (cheese sauce covers a multitude of sins!)

The leeks may get a little bigger, but so will the remains of the flower stalk, although not by as much as if you just left them to flower.
