[My Potatoes]

I was wondering if any members have tried transplanting wild garlic, i.e. from the wild into their veg gardens? What would be the best time of year to do so? Any pitfalls? Any advice?
Thanks.

You could do it, after flowering. It proliferates rapidly, so can be a bit invasive. It's only the leaves that you eat, before flowering, so if you have a stand near you, I don't really see the point. It's also illegal to dig up wild plants.

Just make sure you keep it in a tub because otherwise it will take over your garden. It does spread like crazy. If you lift some (with landowner permission - digging up roots is a no no), take it soil and all in a clump. The roots are easily damaged.

Or you could wait until it sets seed and then sow the collected seeds. That's what I did with bluebells that grow on the lane to an old graveyard near here.
They really are very invasive though, so be careful where you plant them.
When I was a young lad, I discovered some growing in the shade of a row of beeches, beside a path leading up the hill to my secondary school. A few mates and I would cram our mouths with leaves, give them a good chewing and then go into class and fumigate the other lads. Great crack!

Same opinion as other replies, it takes over.
My neighbor put them down in her front garden about 7 years ago, now theyre all over her garden AND out the back too! Now, she doesnt manage her borders like she should, so shes part to blame. It looks awful though, apart from flowering.
