Last Leeks Standing

So what if it's raining again, we slipped down the plot this morning to check on the greenhouse and, to our delight, every little seed that we have sown over the last two weeks has germinated. What a happy sight! On our way back up the path, we collected a few last remaining leeks to pop into our chicken pot pie tonight to go with our cheesy mash and peas followed by lemon surprise pud. I also took note that our winter spinach has suddenly stopped growing and I had planned to use some next week in our ricotta and cannelloni dish. Last week, when the weather had picked up, there were real signs of baby leaves sprouting and they seem to have disappeared with the cold. The onions we had planted three weeks ago look promising, they have all got little green sprouts and the carrots I think are making an appearance but it could be grass. They look the same to me when they first start off, we'll soon know.Oooh, rain, rain, go away, so we can all have some fun.
