Ages ago I filled in a survey in the mag and received a free packet of Sarah Raven's leek seeds. Unfortunately I left the empty packet in the greenhouse and it's now illegible. Is there anyone else who did the survey and can tell me what variety they are? I know from a growing point of view a leek's a leek, but a similar thing happened a few years ago only with cabbages, which then turned out to be the nicest I'd ever tasted. I'd hate to have to embark upon a leek quest in the same way that I'm still trying to pin down that cabbage..... Please don't tell me that we all got different ones.

Are they winter leeks ? If so, then presumably they are a version of "Mammoth"...(
sorry folks, couldn't resist - blame seasprout !)
There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.
