Hello and good start to the season, everyone.

Back to the vegetable patch after almost a year of absence (various health and family problems)

The vegetable gardens were more or less covered during the fall / winter.

After a short walk in the neighboring vegetable gardens, some of which are abandoned, I found a small "field" of leeks. Nature and the wind "work" without counting the hours

fallow vegetable patch

harvesting leeks for transplanting

trimmed leeks ready to replant

bulbils for test

Little question like sicetaitsimple for paysan.bio or any other phénoculteur / trice by the way: the small "bulbils" at the roots of leeks (2nd photo) put in pots (last photo) will they give leeks?

A big THANK YOU still at did67 for all the info he shares and BRAVO for the book (2 copies on order)

PS: small question, again, can we reduce the size of the photos in the thread and if so, how?

See you soon, green68

I will think of putting photos of my vegetable gardens, but for the moment not much to see, the peas have not yet come out. Plates bands* covered (dead leaves + grass, hay), some old cauliflowers that give back and chard

* missing word edition

some old cauliflowers that give back

I did not know that cauliflower could give back .. there is something special to do for this (apart from not tearing it off )

Good evening and welcome torrent sites,

Actually nothing to do except to harvest, leave the foot in the ground (possible even to move it). I discovered this by chance (laziness ). Of course the result will not be a big cabbage but a few small

I just finished reading your thread which I found very interesting.
