Hello All,

We have quite a lot of wild garlic near us.

Ramsons (Wild Garlic). The bubs, leaves and flowers all taste of Garlic
but it is the leaves that are predominantly used as a garnish in
salads/sandwiches
The bulbs are a bit insipid once cooked. Definitely best when the leaves
are very young and tender (now).
Be aware that it is illegal to dig up wild flowers, so using the bulbs
could be very expensive if caught.

Whoops, I dug up loads of the stuff when I cleared one corner of the garden.
We seem to have two sorts that grow like weeds here, I do enjoy the smell
when I mow them.

Mike
