What to do with leeks going to seed !

 Because of the warm weather, my leeks have started to go to seed. Rather than waste them, I dig them up, wash them and put them in the freezer for later use.

They should be used up within three months of freezer.

The frozen leeks can then be used as soup.

My soup recipe is as follows:

Three medium size leeks and three medium potatoes.

I steam them for ten minutes and pop them in my blender, heat up and eat with bread.

Keep it simple and waste not!

What you cannot do!

 If you have taken on a new allotment and you are find it to much, do not give up, just keep it simple.


What you cannot do, don’t do.


I find a simple plan of potatoes, leeks, onions, garlic, cabbage and some soft fruit means that you do not have to spend hours at it and the same time get some food off your plot all the year round without too much stress.
