It was given to me as garlic. I thought at first it might be some kind of leek, but I cleaned and chopped one up to add to some vegetable stew to try it out. I think it probably is some kind of garlic, but there were only four cloves in the bulb. I trimmed and chopped the whole plant, including the green leaves. The leaves seem a lot milder, but the bulb portion was much stronger. A whole plant gave a lot of garlic flavor to the stew :).
I think it's probably not the proper time of year to dig and transplant it, but pass along plants generally manage to do just fine. After I washed the shovel full I was given to remove the grass and weeds, it was enough to fill up a large container. Almost as big as a cast iron wash tub. Spacing was close. I can't plant root veggies in the ground here because the clay is just too tight and they won't grow and are impossible to dig out. I hope the container planting is successful.
