Is this time of year and it's showing..... everybody wants to eat flowers and other weird stuff. :shock:

Haven't you set enough leeks folks?  

[compostqueen]

well I have !  They look beautiful though cos the leaves are dark green and lavender purple so as good looking as any flower. Well in my eyes.  Celeriac too and some fab looking Redbor kale.  Loads of oriental stir fry veg too, eg mizuna, komatsuna, red mustard,mibuna, some kind of spinach, pak choi (although running to seed but it'll still go in the pan)

Winter lettuce and salad leaves have been brill but the wind ripped the Longrow cloches off so they got a bit of leaf burn but it's not done em in
Endive Cornet de Bordeaux, corn salad, Valdor, Brune d Hiver, meraviglia and mizticanza, so plenty of leafy green stuff for salads.  I managed to overwinter some carrots (though not pulled these yet) and some winter hardy spring onions.  I would have had loads of cavolo but the pigeons eat em to stumps when the mesh got blown off

In store still got some Desiree spuds, shallots and plenty of garlic

I've got a total of one leek at my allotment, it's a subject of much mirth, as we've left it in the middle of a bed on show!  The others all got munched by something horrid :cry:

You should doll up your leek, Masha, just like Babe does with her carrot

We just can't decide what to do with it, poor thing, it gets so lonely

chop it up and fry it with a couple of sausages and have it on a butty with brown sauce
