Dirty Leek Photos Prove Hearty New Englanders Can Survive Any Winter

If you're reading this because you misread the headline and thought you'd see dirty leaked photos, my evil plan has worked! Now that your here, check out my cool pics of local herbs that survived the grueling Winter.

Do you believe these leeks were in the ground over 6 months ago and lived through the record breaking snow pack of February? The stems have obviously seen better days but the bulbs smell like savory heaven and are ready for the soup pot!

These green shoots may not look like much now, but before you know it they'll be huge garlic plants. With all their healing powers, no wonder they can endure the worst that Mother Nature can dish out.

Here are some chives to finish off this inspiring trio. These would be ready to clip and eat as is, but it's better to wait until there are more than just a small handful. Thankfully, it will not take very long for that to happen.

And here is the soup I mentioned earlier. By the way, if you think I either planted these herbs or made this soup, you are even more gullible than when you thought this article was going to show dirty leaked photos!

(I was responsible for writing, photography and my fair share of soup consumption.)
