Leeky update

The leeks today

Here's what they looked like when I first planted them in November, five months ago.

Two months later, and my, how the leeks have grown. Below, you see the leeky darlings from November 2010. Yes, some plants do survive the attack of the bazillion slugs sharing space in my garden plot.

PS I bought the leeks as seedlings from Hayground Organic Gardening, who sell high quality starters at the local Santa Monica Farmers Market. I plan to write more about Hayground in the near future.

Leeks, mostly

Grabbed a pack of leek seedlings from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. This is my first year of leeks. We'll see how they grow.
