I keep it really simple. They stay in the one place and re-grow from the
pups each year. I manure and water them and eat them. That's it.

I have looked up the word pup on two different sites
www.garden.org/dictionary/
and
www.gardenguides.com/resources/dictionary/
as well as having googled it, and can find no mention of pups in a
gardening sense. I did find a reference to pups as being runners from
aloe vera but I'm not aware of runners from leeks.

Could you amplify on your statement.

Pups are offsets. :-) A term commonly used for Agave as well.

Leeks and other onion-type plants often produce small sets along side
the main bulb.

I'll keep an eye out ;O)
