The wife, daughter and I picked a good bunch this past sunday, think I might go get a few more this weekend. I want to send a big thank you out to Smitty55 for posting up the proper way to pick them, I embarrassingly admit to always digging them up, only a few at each patch thinking that was preserving the stock. We picked a good pile and not one shovel touched soil, once you got the hang of it it was simple even my daughter had no issues pulling them this way. She is excited to go get more this weekend. Added some to a lamb leg when we got home for supper that night and been putting some in basically everything this week.........really goof stuff! Not going to bother pickling any this year but looking to have lots on hand for cooking over the next year.

Got mine today. Hit at a great time. They were just perfect. Got enough for some soups and freeze some for later. Got a big bunch together for the neighbour as well.

Got out and picked a handful of plump ones yesterday. The skeeters were terrible and the leeks were much harder to find amongst the newly formed greenery. They are much easier to pick when they are this big though. Thanks again for all the good tips. I hope to get out for some more before they're too hard to find! Don't forgot the bugs spray..
