This is the time of year I start to harvest the leeks. It is crazy but in only a month the overwintering vegetables will start to bolt.

Love leeks 🤩. As a boy growing up in Wales these are our national dish. 🧡
I love them also better than onions in my opinion.
Where do you grow these and how’s the taste? Don’t they prefer wet roots?
I dedicate a whole bed to them. They like moist soil and can tolerate fairly wet soil, I live in a temperate rain forest. They are delicious, you can use them in all recipes that require onions, but leeks are sweet and impart a more subtle “herby” flavor. They also freeze well. I usually freeze them and eat them until fall onions are ready. They hardy to about 10 to 15 degrees.
