In season in the UK from late summer through early spring, leeks reach peak season here in the UK from October to March making them a handy vegetable right now when other veg is less plentiful.
I used to have an allotment some years ago, where Leeks was one of my favourite veg to grow. They never grew to a huge size like those you see in the supermarket, but what we did eventually pull out of the ground were deliciously sweet and worth taking time to grow. With a bit of planning, I am hoping to do the same this year in my garden.
I have a tiny allotment space in London and mainly grow soft fruits. I have a small patch for other things perhaps I should try leeks. Im also wondering about garlic this year.
