Thanks everyone for the leeks info.  James' analogy with the peppers 
makes sense.  I may try them next year.  Sage, I've never had or tried 
miso, never seen it in the stores either.  I scout the international 
sections pretty well, too.  From what I read, buttery, salty, sounds 
like I would like it.  So, if I start them from seed, and being in a 
short day area, when should I start them?
