It's been a funny year for veg this year!
Everything has come early.
Many of the leeks have the solid centres that they get when they are
starting to go to seed.
Is it OK to eat the middles?
(They seem to taste all right.)

Yep I have them sometimes and they all go into my midweek
Chuck-it-in-chicken soup, where I radi the fridge and chuck all the
slighlty off stuff into a pot with a leg of chicken.

(I just sew a wooden leg back onto the chicken and they live and lay
for ages : ))
