Leek - Bandit
Allium porrum
About
The latest leek! A tasty, winter-hardy, bluey-green variety, most suitable for harvesting in spring. We have even adopted (and adapted) a Catalan festival - the calcotada - to celebrate the end of the leek harvest in mid-May where we barbecue the remainder of the crop and have a party!
