How long can I leave them in the ground before they go to seed?

I want some seed from the leeks, but I'm not interested in seed
from the celeriac.

If I have to dig them up, how do I store them?

It depends on the weather! Watch 'em and see!

In the case of leeks at least, you can't. You can eat them until
the flower shoot goes woody.

The leeks should flower this summer.

Leeks - dunno. You'd probably have to freeze them. Celeriac need
somewhere cool and not too dry. Like carrots.

The leeks will throw up a round stem in the middle of the leaves, this will
grow to around 3 ft tall and will have flowers in the summer followed by
black seed, it also may have small pips or bulbuls. which can be planted.
The seed will be sown spring on 2005 to give you leeks 2005/6.
Unless they are special then I wouldn't bother, you are having your ground
taken up for a long time to save getting a packet of seed. They don't like
being transplanted once they are coming into flower so have to be left in
situe.
