The Belgian mix sounds great!

I notice from reading several seed sellers sites that there is quite a difference in winter hardiness of leeks (and so many kinds!) with the earliest leeks usually not the best to overwinter. So I'm not sure if there's much chance for me to find really hardy varieties that will also set seed earlier than American Flag here. (our season is so short!).

Blue Solaise is one I read is winter hardy in Vermont. And Bandit is hardy but quite late. In any case I'm going to try for the Mammoth this coming year, and see if I can overwinter them too.
