Over the easter bank holiday I've lifted the collars on my leeks by turning the collar around and they are looking really good. Here you can see the pendle leek bared down, you will notice the flaw in this strain of leek and that is it tends to shaft being slightly thinner at the bottom than the top. This is just the characteristics of this strain of leek which can only improve through reselection over the years, such as the pendle improved leek that medwyns is growing this year. The welsh seedling have gone through the same processes over the years and through reselection the bulb on the bottom of the leek has disappeared.
