Bolted Leeks - Worth keeping ?

Thanks Nick -
Looks like it's leeks on the menu for the next week or two then...
Maybe one or two of the bigger ones are getting a bit woody, but most
of them are still fairly small - should be OK at the moment then...
I'll keep a couple of the sprouting ones in so I can collect the seed
for next year though.
Cheers - Dave.
In general, I'm sure that's a good thing to do. But do remember that
when you save seed you're making a selection. It's possible -- though
of course by no means certain -- that you're saving seed from a strain
which is more prone to bolting than the ones you ate.
