Default Leeks - leave them in the ground or dig them up?


"Alan wrote in message
I've a number of leeks still lying in the ground, my problem
is whether to dig them up and store them, or leave them
there and dig them out as needed.

If I dig them all out, how should I store them?


I'm just down the road from you, near Staines, and I have two rows almost
untouched still. They will stay there until needed and if not used will then
flower and produce seed or better still, "pips".
The flowers are great for indoors, if you don't like the smell just put them
in weak bleach solution for 24hrs like the florists do with Allium flowers
and others.
