Hi ~ I accept my "Bronze Thinker"  with Grace and many thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Q8  Allum (corrected should be Allium) porrum  a Leek is  part of the onion family ~ my answer was " type of onion"   

However you are the Quiz Master and I accept your pronouncement.

Thank you for the quiz and your checking of answers.  Look forward to taking part with your quizzes again soon.

Well done all 🤗

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees 

I have a greater knowledge of gardens and vegetables than me, so I am willing to concede that you did give a correct answer to Q8 so you are awarded an extra  - bring your award to Bronze Thinker +  [as @BobM got] and just short of the Silver Thinker.
