Garlic and leeks

One of the neighbours gave us a pot with a few leek seedlings in last year and I didn't really know what to do with them so the Mrs put them in a pot and they've been there ever since. She placed a toilet roll tube around their stems when she potted them and they're now around a foot high and maybe half an inch in diameter. Would I be able to place them in my new raised bed? The same with garlic. We planted some supermarket garlic last summer to see what would happen, and it began to grow until the winter, but now it's come away again and is maybe a foot tall too, could this go in the raised bed? :cnfs::wink:

 

There`s only one way to find out how they`ll do Rod. Plant them.:gnthb: But don`t be surprised if they run to seed.:thumb:

 

Cheers David. What's supposed to happen to the garlic? Does it flower or something? :cnfs:

 

The garlic is supposed to subdivide, if it, or the leeks, flower, then rip them out.:thumb:

 

Ahh, I poked my finger down the garlic pot the other day and there was a bulb, kind of like a small red onion (god I'm such a noob :D) down there. How long do you leave them for?

 

Normally, you would plant garlic cloves in August/ September one year, and harvest August/ September the next.
