    Today I have decided to do a little experiment with re-growing leeks. I am going to see which one grows better by using a pot a compost soil or just some water in a cup.

    Hope to see some result in a few days :)

    Should work, onions will grow like that. I think celery will too.

    The water leek looks like it is doing well better then the soil leek.

    Hmmm, can't decided which one is doing better. I've not that long woken up and first thing I do is check on how they are doing.
    I will post another picture in a few days :)
