Over one and a half years ago I started some seeds to grow a crop of bulgarian giant leeks. The project was to save a batch of seed, while hopefully improving the variety some. The original seed I started with some years ago did not produce very uniform plants. I've improved it some over the years saving seed and culling out the worst plants,m but it still needs work. The plants have a long cycle to produce seed, starting the seeds in winter and collecting in the fall a full season later. Once harvested, the seeds dry in the pods slowly. When dry, the seeds will be rubbed out of the heads, dried and packaged for sale.
