That's what I thought!! Seed from T.Etty, I'll try sowing a few earlier next year.... ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Hope it is ok to add onto this thread?

I have grown leeks for the first time this year - making a first sowing in january and a second in february of autumn mammoth. They are in final positions and have been for a while as I had space..  I have noticed that a couple have started to bolt with flower bulbs showing - should I pull these up now and can I use them or should I discard them? How about the rest of the leeks - should I start using them or can I leave them in the ground for longer?

thanks, becs
