I won with my leeks also. They're not brilliant but are the best I've grown so I shouldn't moan too much. It's been a right struggle to keep leek moth and rust at bay and I've had to spray constantly through the summer. If you go to some of the larger shows the leeks will hardly have a mark on them and they'll be twice the thickness of mine.......how on earth they do it I have no idea.
I shall have to invest in a polytunnel before too long and get the soil tested. One or two have also succumbed to onion white rot. Perhaps it might be best if I move house altogether....or else take up a less stressful hobby?
