I have kept them for a week or more in the fridge but for longer conservation freezing once blanched works well. Have also found that "winter" leeks keep well in the ground and don't "go to seed" when it is cool.
I am new to this site and don't yet know how to start a topic, so please forgive me possibly doing this the wrong way....but I have a problem and any help or advice would be most gratefully received:
For the second year running I have lost 50% of my leek plants. All chewed off just underground. The hole when excavated always leads to a gallery such as moles dig. Often there is in fact a mole hill nearby. I can only think that some perishing mouse is sharing the mole run. Any advice out there? And what to do to protect my Leeks?
