Giant Bulgarian Leek

This is a wonderful leek, and one we grow every year to eat ourselves. The great thing about them is that they are exceptionally tall, meaning that you get much more usable leek for your work, and they are very clean to harvest and easy to prepare. 

We first came across them in the wonderful blog of Steven Edholm – the second photo shows Steven with one of his Giant Bulgarian leeks. We’ve yet to get ours this big, but they really are exceptionally long shanked and quick growing.

Less cold hardy than some of our other varieties, so use them first before the worst of the winter frosts.
