My leeks will mean great saving this year.

Hi Marguicha. How are you? OMG, why leeks are so expensive in your country? it is very cheap here, in Indonesia. For 2-3 cents, you will have many leeks. More than enough for 2-3 times cooking soup or saute something. Usually, we buy leeks together with shallots, garlics, bayleaves, lemongrass for 3-5 cents. if you are lucky to meet a nice seller, you will also get other herbs/spice. Not too many, but enough to cook 2 kind of good food for a family. As long as I know, you do not need expensive soil to grow leeks. It can grow anywhere.

Hello! I also planted leeks, this is my third year now.Last year we were flooded, and everything in the garden was destroyed, but this year we had a lot.We like to eat it raw, I don't cook with it, because my husband is a little picky with his food, but me and my daughter eat it alongside soup ( we have different, and many recipes of hearty soups ), she likes to eat it with almost anything, and that makes me happy, because it's very healthy. They are a little expensive here, if the minimum wage is 670, a kilo is around 6-7.In that case, it's not a good investment, but if I spent 5 for two packs of seeds, I'm better off planting them. How do you cook them?

Good morning! To be very honest, marguicha...I do NOT know the price of Leeks here! But something in the back of my mind, tells me that the reason that I am growing them, they are a constant crop...is due to the price....and the ease of growing! I have Leeks in the ground 12 months of the year---one of the few crops (aside from Garlic)that are tenacious enough to live in winter conditions here (and amzingly same family)! There are times, when frost is consistent for days, that I do cover them..but rarely does the frost get deep enough to affect the bulbs, and there is such little moisture in the stocks they seldom freeze! And yes, Leeks are a staple in my diet...used for everything...just like Garlic, and the beauty is ALL of them are usable..just haven't found a use for the roots yet...LOL!!! YOU GROW, Lady...so nice to have a dear friend with the same love of gardening...Take care, special one!

I am really not familiar with what leeks are. I don't do much cooking yet, but now that I am settled into my new apartment, I hope to start doing more of it. I mostly use onions and garlic in cooking but I should look into using other vegetables for flavor so that I get more variety. I have never looked into buying them because I don't know how to use them. Have a great weekend!!!

They can be quite expensive depend on the season! I never grew them and I seldom use them and this year I only have parsley growing as I Am waiting to move out some time soon? still waiting after so many month!

Based from the discussions you made, it is like your home is full of goodies. Just in time for the holidays. hahaha... I would think that it is nice to have a feast in your house during the holidays... I wish I was your neighbor...hahaha...
