Poor lads have been under 6 inches of snow since monday?

Will they survive?

I have soup to make. Lots of soup.

[DD.]

Tough as old boots.

[Trillium]

If they're fully grown from last year, then they'll be fine. Leeks like the cold.

[DD.]

Trillium likes to be more precise!

[Trillium]

Well, they could be young ones recently planted out in the haste of the new garden season. 

[DD.]

Wouldn't be big enough to make lots of soup though!

[Trillium]

Is this a challenge of a duel to the last leek? 

[LivvyW]

I'm anxious to get the season started, but not that anxious!

No, they are not that young, although i was hoping for a bit of extra growth if the weather warms up soon. (Ha)

Old boot soup it is then! Mmmm

Please don't fight.

[DD.]

Don't be in a rush to get extra growth, because when they do they'll be running to seed and they'll get a tough central flower stalk running through them.

Peversley, they'll be better covered in snow than being exposed to -8c frost and wind.

The snow'll act as a bit of insulation against even clder temps as daft as it sounds.
