Default Pickling leek greens

I don't know why, but a friend of mine was asking on another NG about doing
this. I recommended he check here. Any thoughts, suggestions? Has anyone
here done it? TIA

I pickled some nice green onions in a mild pickle made to be kept in the
fridge.Originally for sugar snap peas. The green onions faded like green
things do, and looked awful. I was not impressed with the texture, either,
kinda slimy. Which is weird because ordinary onions pickle very nicely.
Maybe just the white part of leeks.
Leeks are kinda sturdier aren't they?

Thanks, Edrena. Doesn't sound too encouraging. Maybe soup!?

Well, there is a green onion kim chi/chee that's quite nice.

I'm not sure that leek greens would work well because they're so
fibrous. Really only good for stock making.
