A big thanks to Medwyn’s of Anglesey for sending us a trial seed pack of the “longest leek”! The company specialises in some great prize winning vegetables that have won medals at Chelsea and the like. Exhibiting vegetables is well out of our league and don’t really interest us here but we’re going to give them leeks a go in the spring and will keep you posted on their progress.

How do people out there feel about long leeks, parsnips the length of a golf putter and onions the size of footballs? What we wonder is, when they’ve been grown to an expanded size, do they actually still taste nice? We’d love to know!
