Harvesting Leeks Andrew shows how to harvest a leek without damaging it, which helps it store longer and prevents early rotting. By removing the outer leaves, you're left with a beautiful white stem and vibrant green top. Some of the leeks have already gone to seed, but Andrew explains how you can still make use of the scapes by lightly steaming them. Finally, he demonstrates a handy way to store your leeks in a bucket with a little damp compost to keep them fresh for longer. #growyourownfood #v
