Leeks! How do I get them to stay green?

Posted by Akwe Mabs

I bought some fresh leeks from the market . It was pretty much and I was obviously not going to use all of it at once.

In my attempt to maintain the "greenness" and "freshness" I decided to separate the leaves from the stem. Then I washed , chopped, packaged and preserved the leaves in the freezer.

I then took a vase, poured in some water and placed the roots and the stems inside. I have placed the vase near my kitchen window so the plant could enjoy some sunlight. I figure this will help the leeks stay green and of course produce new leaves.

I guess I found a way of keeping them green even without a garden.
