Varieties
Varieties we grow and love:
Megaton, King Arthur and Tadorna… they all look pretty much the same but have slightly different growing habits.
Storage
As always, fresh produce is most delicious and nutritious when consumed as close to the harvest date as possible.
Leeks actually store very well in the produce drawer in your refrigerator. Remove any of the dark green leaves at the top of the bulb and wrap in damp toweling or loosely in plastic.
