Loves to experiment, bit like me really!

By coincidence Jason posted that on 8/6/21, 2 years ago yesterday.
I often look at his videos to see what crazy ideas he has now.

Babington perennial leek
The Great E'Scape in my garden.
Would they all cross if flowering together - new varieties pf alliums?
RE: Scapes - Veggie - 09-06-2023
No idea, but if they could cross they probably have done by now as the Elephant garlic and perennial leeks have been in the garden for years. There are always some ordinary leeks and spring onions that I leave to flower and self seed too. Can't say I've noticed anything unusual though.

I've just eaten 2 Elephant garlic scapes in a potato and apple mint frittata thing, Its given me hiccups.

I see he came to the same conclusion as I,that blue gave the best general growth characteristics.

Just bumping this thread because its allium scape time - at least it is here.
I can't remember whether I tried leek scapes last time or not!
RE: Scapes - Vinny - 22-05-2024
Don't think I would fancy leek scapes unless they were from very small leeks as they appear to have a 'caulky' centre to them.
Sam applies to my elephant garlic which is a similar size to a leek and fairly tasteless at best.
