Wild Garlic
 

I've got a lot of it!
Some are about to flower.
I'd like some recommendations on how to get rid of it?
Alternatively, anyone got any recipes that use wild garlic?

Is that reepham in Norfolk, or a surname?

Dig it up and send it to Marc Wilson?

Alternatively, anyone got any recipes that use wild garlic?

Leaves good in salads, bulbs excellent in casseroles, roast meat,
pickles, etc.

Oh, I wish I could have a bit of it. The last 30 yards of my garden I call
my wood, ash trees, fruit trees and big hawthorns, It's full of snowdrops
and things woodlike, but wild garlic I want for it!
Send some to me.

I've Googled for pics and I'm not sure it is wild garlic. I saw biggish
plants with wide flat leaves and white star flowers.
The plant is more like snowdrop size, with a white snowdrop size flower and
has a very strong garlic smell. It is growing like a carpet in an adjacent
wooded area.

I don't think it is that as it doesn't have as many flower heads per stem.
Full height is no more than a snow drop and leaves no more than 10mm wide.
The bulbs are comparable to snowdrops but probably smaller.
It grows a lot faster and is more promiscous (?) than snowdrops and seems
to like my lawn.

I'll have to take a photo and post in online somewhere.

Thanks.

There is one just outside Lincoln. I lived in Cherry Willingham and Reepham
(the next village) was our telephone exchange.

Reepham 424. Those were the days.

I predict that you will find out shortly.

Yes, Reepham in Norfolk

Hum. My ransomes aren't showing yet, let alone close to flowering. Will
have to look tomorrow. Reepham must be about seventeen miles from me
here in this bit of South Norfolk, so, they might not be 'wild garlic'.

I could well take you up on that, though I ought to learn how to for myself.
Camera will be out Friday as the weather man said it will be sunny.
