Easy: harvest one whenever you'd like one for dinner, from now right
up to when they flower. They'll happily grow for up to 2 years before
flowering, and even then you can eat the flower stem by peeling the
tough skin away.

And if you don't pull the whole plant out, but just cut the stem above
the soil line (or pull the soil back so it doesn't swamp the plant
where you've cut it) the leek will grow back and you can have a number
of repeat crops.

That sounds pretty nifty, I've steered away from the onion family partly
because of glut issues, but maybe leeks have more to offer than I thought.
Are the flowers edible too?
