I did grow garlic, but it wasn't wild garlic. Wild garlic grows mainly in shady areas, such as woodlands and I believe that you eat the leaves, not the bulbs.
I grew Solent Wight garlic as it's a hardy variety and grows better in our climate. I planted it in November and harvested it in August, so make sure that you can set aside the space for it as it takes a while to grow. There are varieties that grow at different times of the year, but the variety I grew keeps well, which is what I wanted.
