     @db I guess like any other bulb, they just get bigger and bigger. We'll have to to eff around and find out and compare notes. I've gotten tired of looking things up on the old series of tubes, and have re-embraced figuring things out by trial and error.
     
     There were wild leeks here when I moved in, and they came back every year. Then I got the bright idea to move them where they wouldn't get peed on by dogs and they hated the new locations--I tried several--and are all gone. Womp womp.

     @LawrenceGerald @db Sounds like their old spot was the best for taking a leek.

     @LawrenceGerald they grow well in 5 gal pails if you're not ready to commit. onions grow great in big empty coffee containers. ima try garlic next year too.

     @db around here you have to plant garlic in the fall
     
     I have a raised bed that will be cleared for garlic. No idea how I will store it, but that won't be a problem till next year.

     @LawrenceGerald i read garlic is perennial, so if you don't harvest it all, it will come back. i'm not sure how that works, exactly.

     @db I have yet to plant pertaters, I of course have to plant things you can't eat but that look beautiful in a wild setting. But I'm working my way toward having a bed for potatoes and one for onions and garlic.

     @LawrenceGerald @db Big doges big pees. My friend's boxer will drink until it throws up if you give it unlimited water (and then drink some more).
