Growing Leeks

I grow leeks every year and mound them up as they grow to blanch the flesh. with the soil from each slide of the row and straw on top, so they end up on a ridge with the trench down the side. I water in the trench when required. I dont seem to have trouble with them going to flower and only finished harvesting last years crop a month ago. Now planting the next lot. Delicious, blanched wrapped in ham and then topped with a cheese sauce and a crumb topping in the oven.
