Brilliant Al. I had to throw all mine away.

What beans are they? They look like broad beans.

Wow!!!

Fab harvest, Al

Now that’s what I call a real leek – not the “running to seed” efforts I produced this year. Could get a great pot of soup from that one.

I have to ask – how many plants did you grow? – as this is titled “First picking of broad beans”. Jules would be busy.

Wouldn’t get many of these into a pot for cooking……

A grand crop Al, just waiting to collect the seeds from my beans for next year.

Great looking leek Al,

Kept some fresh seed if you want some.

30 plants Sheila,Then I pulled them out and stripped them,Then planted winter radish in the bed,And they are like parsnips now,Never grown them before.

Exceptional crop on the beans this year Dix, I watered them even when we had rain,Made a difference,

Had the first stew with them last week K.

Dreadnaught broads Cill,

A truly amazing leek and grown in Wales

Golly!

Oh boy, what crackers Allan …if mine don’t germinate I’ll come begging for more :rose;

Plenty here.

I don’t leave them on the plant too dry,I find that picking them when they are turning yellow is the best time,

We bought a fridge freezer when I gave the allotment up,Thinking that we wouldn’t need a trunk freezer only more,How wrong we were,

Not going to grow the pot leeks next year though,Too much leaf and not enough stem,I’ll stick to the blanch ones like photo.

They look like super leeks Allan
