Leeks in the Garden, then into the soup

Ranked #33,188 in Home & Garden, #597,598 overall

Leeks (Allium ampeloprasum)

one of my favorite of the alliums.
its quite a nice looking plant, those sword leaves just accent any garden so nicely.

one of the things I like is that the plant can be pulled out of the ground, cut off the part you want for lunch, then the root area can be stuck back into the ground, and it will take off and grow you another Leek !
its almost magic ...

and a good leek soup is definitely magic, bon appetite !

Especially when prepared as potato & leek soup

Fresh Spuds in the garden

goldenrod spider in the catnipI'll get some pix soon, the spuds are doing very well

this goldenrod spider was living in the catnip next to the spuds,

when I harvested the catnip, I moved this spider over into the roses, it was a perfect combination
