Overwintered leeks — the first harvest of the year, and the last from the previous one. This mix of King Sieg and Siegfried leeks, both hardy varieties, has weathered this season’s subzero temperatures with surprising tenacity.
Even the trimmings are put to good use, and enriched a recent batch of chicken stock.

Why do your harvests always look so much bigger and better than mine? Must be all that cold weather.
And a wide angle lens ;)
Amazing, I would never think that anything edible would survive the weather that you’ve been enduring, much less look so great!
It’s one of the reasons to source seed close to home, the plants are better adapted to the climate!
Wow! I didn’t think that anything could survive our cold temperatures. But your leeks look beautiful!
We even left two leeks in the ground to see how far we can push them…
I wish I had the patience for leeks, but they just look too pathetic for too long and inevitably I plant something else near them which goes on to smother them…. One day, when I learn to be patient I will grow them but until then I will just have to keep giving the local growers my business.
They do take a long time and, like most onions, are fussy to start as seeds… but well worth it when winter comes and they’re the only fresh thing in the garden!
Your leeks are certainly triple the size of mine. LOL They look fantatic, especially knowing it is THAT cold there.
Beautiful leeks. I too use my trimmings in stock.
Beautiful leeks. They are amazingly hardy. A couple of years ago, before raised beds, I left leeks in the garden and the soil froze solid. I had to wait for a thaw to extract them, but the leeks were fine.
Hurrah for leeks! I also put to good use the trimmings: they are great in stock.
