Lovely Leeks

The smell of leeks cooking at 10am on a Sunday morning isn't to everyones taste but luckily for me there were no complaints.

In truth the leeks should have been out of the ground a month ago. Already they were sprouting new tough inedible shoots.

But they looked far too good to send straight to the compost bin

It was worth a bit of effort,  ten portions of leeks trimmed, cleaned, cooked and frozen. Just right for soups and stews in the coming weeks.

Better still this years leeks are in their pot and will be ready for planting out soon
