Seeds – Leek Giant Winter

Giant Winter is an excellent late variety producing heavy thick stems that will stand in the ground for a long time.

Not only is the leek a well known tasty winter vegetable, but its root system has the added advantage of improving heavy soils. Leeks are in the ground for quite a long time and do take a fair amount of work, but they really are worth all that effort; so its not surprising they will be found on almost every vegetable plot.

Leeks make a tasty side dish to any meal, especially when sliced, boiled and topped with a cheese sauce.
