Competitive leek growers of Wales (1972)

Posted byJ.Starr January 29, 2017March 9, 2018

A charming 1972 BBC documentary piece on Welsh miners and factory workers competing in an annual leek growing competition. “You’ve got to know your leeks, grow your leeks, show your leeks. ”  From an Adam Curtis post about vegetables, which contains a surprising number of videos about vegetables.
