Growing Leek stumps

Never throw a leek stump away! If the base is intact, with roots, cut off the bottom inch or so and replant. 
No base, no roots - no worry!! Shop bought leeks are often trimmed - as are the ones I get FREE! Trim off the bottom inch or so and put it in a little water, not too much or the leek will rot. Here are some I prepared earlier - about 3 days ago!

    In their little pots.
    The green bit in the middle shows it wants to grow!
   
   

I'll give them a few more days in their pots to let the roots grow more, then plant them in my permanent leek bed - where all rejuvenated leeks live. They usually produce side leeks.  Some I cut off and use, leaving the stumps in situ, the rest are left to flower and self seed.
