Thank you Big Lebowski and Toddy

You've probably forgotten, but you kindly sent me some growing three cornered leek and "bulbules" last year. I decided to follow what I had done with ramsoms and germinate the seeds and root the growing plants in some potting compost before planting out. I over wintered the pot in a cool (unheated) greenhouse

Today I was installing the heavy duty staging in one of the greenhouses. Having done that I looked into another greenhouse to see what needed moving back and glanced at the "leek pot"

Hopefully you can see both matyre plants and masses of babies

They have now been planted into my deep mulch herb bed

I promised you a picture of them "in situ" = so now you have it!

They are happy among their friends (ramsom, chive, welsh onion, garlic chive, walking onions, potato onions, garlic, red onions, spanish white onions and numerous oramental aliums)

Thanks again guys:You_Rock_

Oh very good Those look happily healthy

I like them, they're on of the plants that come up in season and add a bite of flavour, and they're pretty too

cheers,
