OK lets clarify. Before anything is misread in my answer to Flossy. I was talking about the LEEKS not my Grand daughter ...
As Flossie reffered to the plural as " How did you do that ? they are very impressive " I thought this would have been quite clear..
If you want big leeks or big onions, it is dependent on the seed you start with in the first place .. There's an old saying that goes.
Yorkshire born Yorkshire bred .
Strong in the arm and thick in the head..
I begin to wonder if this was geographically misplaced :-\
