hi, guest,
as you like us why not join us. you will be sure of a good welcome.
Like heron, i have always been told to leave them in the ground as the frost is spposed to help.
i leave mine in as i have no where to store them. at least they are fresh when i do pull them.

Welcome Onetouch to GoY - I'm sure you enjoy asking questions and 'chatting' to us all. I'd agree by the way on leaving your leeks in the ground.

well hello onetouch. a very warm welcome to GoY.

leave them where they are, in really bad weather you can lift a whole bunch keeping the roots well covered with soil and keep them by the back door. It saves you having to clar about in the mud daily.

Leave them in, I've heard that they taste better after frost.
