Went to the allotment this week only to discover that my lovely leeks are rapidly being eaten by something. They were doing really well. I dug most of them up and cut the worst parts off and made some delicious 'Leek & Potato' soup.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to stop this leek munching creature please let me know.
Thank you.

Well the dreaded leek moth has come and gone and what I have noticed on my neighbour's allotment and also the one leek I left in the ground, is that the leeks that looked completely decimated a week or two ago have come back stronger and better than before.
Next year instead of panicking and pulling them all up, I will leave them alone and see what happens.
