Autumn leaves are falling and the broadbeans have hit around 50cm high, radishes, lettuce, spinach and herbs are being harvested.
On ABC Gardening (Channel 2, 6:30pm Saturday nights) a while ago, they said you could plant out the roots of spring onions and they’d grow again. As I've said on previous posts, I tried it and it works, and since then I’ve been chopping some off most nights and they keep regrowing which is handy. With the roots already grown, the veggies shoot up really quickly.
With some experimentation, I’ve found that works for leeks too. On cold days, it is great to wander out the front and get some leek for a winter soup.

I would LOVE to grow leeks. I'm going to keep this tip in mind, thank you :)
