Unfortunately as I blogged previously the taste was not up to much at all. I have since discovered that they are really not that <a title="frost" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/frost/">frost</a> hardy either. Most of the crop have bent over at the first sign of frost and they appear to be softening as well. I don’t think I will grow them again, but they were a fun thing to try. My chosen variety of leek next year will be <em><strong>‘Oarsman’</strong></em> this variety was recommended to me by a man from the National Vegetable Society stall at the RHS <a title="Autumn" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/autumn/">Autumn</a> show. I will give them a go. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28615441-2114515665975525583?l=veggies-only.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_24197" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a24197" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a24197" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX24197X5X0XaXarticle_rater_24197Xarticle_loader_24197X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24197X4X0XaXarticle_rater_24197Xarticle_loader_24197X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24197X3X0XaXarticle_rater_24197Xarticle_loader_24197X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24197X2X0XaXarticle_rater_24197Xarticle_loader_24197X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24197X1X0XaXarticle_rater_24197Xarticle_loader_24197X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_24197" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a24197">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
