I asked a GW moderator about her page, asking why I couldn't bring it up, they said she no longer is registered on GW---next thing I know, the entire thread is GONE. I have her email address if anyone wants it, but I have not heard from her.

What would happen over a few years if I left garlic to grow free?

Comments (21)
Next to our place is a vacant acre lot where the house was removed about 10 years ago. The garlic from their garden kept spreading over those years. There was a patch about 30x70 feet and other clumps here and there. A neighbor who was related to those people told me that the garlic was German Red. I spent some time investigating. There were 9 inch or so balls of bulbs mixed in with rounds. The bulbs were small, maybe an inch in diameter. I planted some of the cloves and got bulbs as large as 3 inches in diameter the first year. I would guess that these wilded plants will tend to grow for many years without problem because the spreading is accomplished by the bulblets bending the scapes over so that the plant can move a foot or two each year. Garlic plants grown from bulbils grow plants that are said to clear any plant diseases that would continue in plants grown from cloves. The 30x70 foot clump was mostly to the north of a huge shade tree, with a 3 foot in diameter trunk. In the spring into early summer the only thing growing there was the garlic but then the weeds would crowd out the garlic. When the scapes were on the plants the clump was still mainly weed free. I'm guessing that the shade helped the garlic overcome weed pressure.

I am looking for lots of things, mostly flowers. One exception is that I would like to try growing Wild Leeks (Ramps)this year. If anyone has any bloodroot or Silene Jack Flash that would be great. I realize people are less likely to have these, but I thought I would mention them on the outside chance someone does!

Hum?????? I wonder if this means that..... if we do not renew our registration when it expires we will be sent to Disney land????
I see in big red letters that my "contributing membership" expires in two weeks> Is this a courtesy reminder OR a warning?? HAs anyone else disapeared recently? There are sure to be changes with the GW going "Big time" and becomming part of "I Village". This may be one example. We shall see.

I got an email from a person who was removed from GW for using it to market her own trading/exchange website? I don't know the gw name though.. maybe it's the same person?
