Are leeks still OK to eat?
There are just a few left - and they are going to seed.
They have a solid bit in the middle - but they taste all right - I've
been eating them raw, thinly sliced, in salads.
Just thought I'd better check they're not poisonous or anything!

Why would they be suddenly poisonous?

I have no particular reason to think that this applies (or doesn't
apply) to leeks, but there are a number of plants where the toxicity
increases with age.
