They are indeed wild green onions, at least at Metric and Cedar
Bend (just south of there). They are growing out of the sides of
the creek, just above the limestone creekbed. A little anemic,
but perfectly edible (this was right next to the apartment complex
that was on TV all day for getting hit by lightning last week).

How do they get there? This a feeder creek to Walnut Creek. But
these seem to be common to all creeks in north Austin.

Kinda makes me wonder how far my wild garlic has spread since I
live right next to vary large creek/waterway...

Hey, helping to bring back 'edible landscape' is a good thing!!


I do so agree.... I've noted that a LOT of the city here is landscaped
with Rosemary and various Salvias. :-) Low water users and culinarily
useful.


Does anybody really like Rosemary as a culinary item? It's like
garnishing with turpentine.


It's delicious! I have it growing in the yard and use it and like it.
