Can't help, sorry!
Never grown Crow garlic and I've only grown Welsh Onions, as multiple seeds in a pot and planted the lot out together, without splitting them.

I've never grown either but I would think looking at their size,they would be fine where they are until you plant them out?

I'm not sure it is wise to plant crow garlic out or best ensure it is well contaned and any bulbils that form in the flowers are not allowed to scatter (may be eat them) and don't compost them. RHS regards it as a problem weed.
Wikipedia suggests that "It imparts a garlic-like flavour and odour on dairy and beef products when grazed by livestock".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_vineale Hello Mark
Yes I'm aware I have a couple of things growing that are deemed invasive, rest assured these will be potted on / planted out into containers that will reside in my back yard which has a concrete base throughout.
