Haven't even planted ours out yet, still at the blades of grass stage.



Mine are at the same stage.

I did an experiment last autumn and tried planting out some very late
leeks - they were the size of blades of grass over Winter. They have
remained small and just run to seed over spring/early summer. So they
didn't like their normal season being messed with.
