not sure they're 100% organic, unless it's the garden centre near me
that adds blue slug pellets...

But they are good, especially for getting good modern varieties. If it
hadn't been for them, I'd never have found the extremely disease and
bolt resistant (and tasty!) leek variety I now grow from seed.

Which is?

I've had trouble with leeks two years running now, same variety each time
and supposed to be very hardy, but they tended to rot with the wet and
frost. The soil was very cold, wet clay though. I've since moved and have
completely different soil this time - dry, stoney stuff.
