Is this a `what happened next` quiz?---OK,you dug them up and then in a senior moment put the leeks in the compost bin and steamed the roots?

They look OK to me,no visible signs of disease-did they smell odd?

Go on - they were your neighbour's leeks and yours are rubbish?!

What on earth is wrong with those leeks or you?  The leeks look fab!

They were show leeks but they went to seed, I am not willing to give them away as its not long since they were sprayed for rust and treated for Fuzarium ( I know what it looks like but cant spell it ) so they have to go on the heap.

They are not a good enough leek to be bothered with as they are not big enough. Also the timing is wrong for them to be in seed.
