I have a creek absolutely bursting with wild onions, garlic, and leeks (yes, all at once, lucky me!). I haven't tried to store them before since I just gobble them up fresh, but there's such an abundance this year I couldn't possibly use it all. A quick google search was disheartening, telling me that the wild alliums don't last as long as their cultivated counterparts. Is it still worth a shot braiding and trying to store them? I'm talking a quarter mile of creek lined on both sides--can't pass it up!

They could probably be cut up and dehydrated, very easily, but I can't speak to braiding them.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
