Yesterday we bought 100 pencil sized leeks from a guy at a market.
We asked him what variety as these were to be the 2nd planting out and would need to fully overwinter.
He said they were a mixture of the 'blue' ( winter hardy) and the normal green ones.
It seemed a bit odd to mix them like that and he assured me that the blue ones would protect to a certain extend the green ones.
Seemed rather odd, but we needed some, and the price was very good.
Did he see us coming and had a chuckle- or has anyone else heard of this?
