| I have grown these a few years, always from starts. Most years I harvest medium-small leeks in November and cellar them for the winter. This year I left them in and am I currently harvesting big, beautiful leeks that overwintered in our unusually warm winter to put on amazing size and girth in the past few months. Not sure how to rate these since the mild winter definitely contributed to their remarkable size this year.
They are always reliable and delicious though this is the first year they have been as big as the specialty market leeks. |

| I grew these from plants (Miller\'s), and had no problems. Started harvesting in September, and continued up through March when covered with leaves. Found that the deer loved to invade the garden for them in mid-winter. |

| I have always prefered Lancelot leeks. They are so early and reliable. I wish they were easier to find as plants. Earliness is a great virtue. |

| We were harvesting small half inch thick leeks by early August and I just pulled the last of them before they were covered in snow in late December. They taste like a leek should and grew beautifully. No complaints from me. |

| I've had these over 3 seasons now and can compare them with a couple tries with American Flag. Lancelot outperformed AF and has been a consistent producer.

| 4 years growing them. 3 years rated 5, one year from a different supplier would rate 3.5. Miller Nurseries had the 5's, Harris Seed the 3.5 |
