In the local market this morning there were some leek plants for sale.
According to my big gardening book it's miles too late to plant them now,
though I've really regretted not growing them this year, my first year of
veggie gardening.

Would they amount to anything if I bought some and planted them now? I'm
about 1,000 ft up in the Pennines. Exposed.

It's worth a go. They won't thicken up all that much, but there is
nothing inedible about pencil thickness leeks! Just a bit tedious
to prepare ....
