Title: Leeks
Post by: Sparkly on August 30, 2009, 13:50:14
Anyone suggest where I might be able to buy a resonable quanity (Say 100) Leeklets (late variety) at this time for a reasonable price?

I sowed all mine and they dried out on a sunny day and don't look too healthy!

Don't need  any leeks but love the link Tim.  Saved in my favourites just in case.  Well you just never know in this current climate of ours ;)

Go to the Saturday market in Boulogne! I smugly bought about 100 very healthy, exuberant leek plants for €3.50 to supplement my own plants. About six stalls were selling them so I chose the cheapest. I've never seen anything like it in England.

Bit of a hike from Manchester... if I was on a beer run then that would be a good side-line...  ;D

One of the few benefits of living in the parched desert of East Sussex.
