How to Harvest Leeks

Filed under: root veg — Tags: , — TopVeg @ 9:05 pm

How to harvest leeks depends on which end of the season they are at.

Early season  leeks are lifted by placing a fork under the roots. The roots hold
on tightly and the stem easily snaps off, if a fork is not used to loosen the roots.

Late leeks have a stronger stem and can be pulled, giving a slight twist to break the roots, so most of the root clump & soil stay in the ground.
