I have two questions about garlic: 1. Does garlic transplant well? 2. Can I grow ginger in the same bed with garlic?
Planting a garlic bulbI have not heard of “transplanting” garlic My awareness is that one plants a clove this past autumn in Vanc area Then it grows and is harvested the following late summer in Vanc Here is another thread you can look at Planting a garlic bulb
As for ginger, it is a challenge to grow in this area. See these previous comments from the Forums: Growing Ginger Root It may be a fun challenge but, unless you need a lot of ginger, much less bother just to buy it in the grocery store.
I have transplanted wild garlic in Autumn from a friends over grown area in his garden and it did well. This was in Autumn in Southern England though. As far as Ginger is concerned I would go along with Margot's suggestion tbh.
I will just go ahead and transplant a couple of thee small sprouts and see if they take hold.thank you
I have ten different sprouts growing indoors right now and I will just go ahead when they are bigger and the weather is warmer in the spring and plant them in the same bed with some garlic and see what happens. Thank you
Garlic doesn't transplant well, if not transplanted in very early stages of sprouting. The reason is their root system, that mostly developes before sprouting and damages from transplanting will hurt the plant. They can survive careful transplanting in full grown stage too, but then it it's likely that their cloves (harvest) remain rather small. They transplant relatively well only if to transplant them together with the soil, surrounding the roots, so that roots remain largely undisturbed.
