Don't know. Do you need them now? Are they big enough to eat? So? = Tim

sorry my typing is not very good have spelling mistakes Andy normal types but he is busy blanching celery                                


thank you becky

I said 'don't know' - about your variety -  but leeks are generally regarded as winter hardy, so I wouldnt worry too much. On the other hand, if they are 'autumn' leeks, they are likely to get soft & coarse if left too long. I reckon leeks are best at about 1" across. = Tim

wow im glad i didnt ask that one lol
