My 20/20 Vision for 2020 aka another nutty plan!

Do the leeks from the base cuttings grow as big as the original ones VC? though it doesn't really matter, I think that's a great idea and would like to know how often the same base can be used

I think you could be on to something - will follow with interest

No idea how many times they regrow, rary, or how big. There are some in the photos.
You can also do it with "spring" onions".

Today, I exposed my Babington's!!

Its Shoots week so it was a good time to see how big Babington Island will be this year (don't ask!)

For those who haven't a clue, Babington leeks are perennial by nature and I'm trying to grow a big clump of them. To date, I haven't eaten any, so don't ask what they taste like, either. Jay-ell says they're similar to Elephant garlic leaves.

A few of them emerging


A flower head with bulbils that I overlooked, and they're all sprouting. Sorry its blurred, I was excited.


A few plants from last year's bulbils...........



...........that need planting out.
