Leek surprise
 

Fun Fact in yesterday's gardening section of my local paper. It seems
when you trim off the root end of a leek, you can re-plant the root
and produce another leek. Details were sketchy -- how deep and how
much root attatched -- but I'll try and call the extension agent
shortly and follow up. I wonder if this has to do with leeks being
biennials, and if it'll just go to seed, or if one can cultivate a
perpetual leek...
