I read recently that if you replant your leek roots, they'll continue to grow.GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-84817577936324636152012-03-08T17:00:52.575-05:002012-03-08T17:00:52.575-05:00That is awesome!

I'd never grown them before, and no one, including the seed packet, said that they're actually a cold weather plant..I had no idea. From the hot winter and location that I sowed them, only 4 plants out of 8 survived. I've been harvesting yummy sprouts from them, a good sized bowl, and they taste SOOOOO much better than any other that I've ever had, lol (I Know, it's cuz I grew them, but still...yum)Debbie Hewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453432428504085579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-25401695862298913242012-03-08T14:10:42.537-05:002012-03-08T14:10:42.537-05:00I live in Missouri, and my Brussels Sprouts are go...I live in Missouri, and my Brussels Sprouts are going strong, too! I'd never grown them before, and no one (even the pkg) didn't say that they're a cold weather veggie (I didn't even THINK to research them, I just wanted to grow'em, lol). I harvest a good sized bowl of them off of just 4 surviving plants at least once a month...YUMMMM!Debbie Hewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453432428504085579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-58231886794669546892012-03-08T10:22:21.212-05:002012-03-08T10:22:21.212-05:00It's so fun growing your own food.

My regular dark green kale usually makes it through winter, then blooms in the spring.<br /><br />I keep thinking the lettuce I planted in January should be coming up. Maybe I lost it, and need to replant. I do have lots of plants coming up.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-73340238743619740232012-03-07T19:50:58.395-05:002012-03-07T19:50:58.395-05:00wow, that's fantastic!wow, that's fantastic!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-85831143915646443692012-03-07T19:14:26.972-05:002012-03-07T19:14:26.972-05:00This is amazing.

We've had the same mild winter here in Michigan, but I would never have expected so many plants to survive and be useable in March. <br /><br />It is very cool, but I'm still finding this winter of "no winter" disturbing. Not sure if I'm the only one that finds this a little scary.lindalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755899109658475423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-8446141443866565332012-03-07T19:12:09.365-05:002012-03-07T19:12:09.365-05:00Great veggies!
