My leeks are looking a bit poorly under about 8 inches of snow. Should I have lifted them and frozen them by now? Never had enough in the past to last this long, but had a good crop this year.
They will be fine, when the weather warms up they will even continue to grow, but you will want to dig them up before they start to go to seed.
Thanks. Am relieved I won't lose them. Just dug one out (with great difficulty) and made soup, as reckoned it was just like using it from the freezer. :)
With the exception of Kale, Leks are one of the hardiest of vegetables.. . ;D
I agree - last year mine were exposed to some terribly cold temperatures, well below zero and they were fine and dandy. They are a bugger to get out when the ground is really hard though, I tend to dig out the last ones as I start planting the spring crops...
We all have to make decisions based on what we know.
Thnkfully we now know lot more
