Is that wild garlic?

star · « **Reply #2 on:** November 01, 2007, 18:42:23 »

Yes it is, and very nice as well. ;D

It does spread, so you would need to control it ;)

I think I pm'd everyone who wants seed, if I have left anyone out please yell at me. I never remember to tick the box to save my outgoing pm's ::)

Thanks for the congrats too btw. The lady is fantastic.....what is her title ???....anyway I said I might not get down till next week and was worried she may let it go to someone else.

She said not to worry and it was mine until such time I didnt want it, even without meeting me! How nice is that? Now she really is the star ;D ;D

I am so thrilled and happy, happy, happy ;D ;D ;D............................(weirdo! 8) )

Congrats Star..enjoy it

These Ransomes, are they used like normal garlic or is it grown for the look/smell?

cheers

I think most people grow it as an ornamental, which it certainly is if you can give it space in a shady spot. But it's perfectly usable.

star · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2007, 23:36:28 »

Thanks rutters, I will enjoy ;D

Yes it is meant to be a woodland plant, but its all over my new plot which is in full sun :) Its going to be fun controlling it :-\

As R_B says it is usable though I havent tried it yet, but I certainly will now ;)

rutters · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2007, 10:06:05 »

Thanks for the info.

Do you have any seeds left?

star · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2007, 12:42:18 »

PM me your address and I shall send you some ;)

mysterio_3d · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2007, 13:38:14 »

I've pm'd you my address as well. Hope youve got plenty of seed left.

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2007, 20:35:29 »

I've never used the bulb, but the leaves, which i've used when camping, will give a mild garlic flavour.

quizzical1 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 04, 2007, 16:47:31 »

We actually bought , earlier this year, a jar of dried wild garlic, which looked like it was the leaves chopped up like any other herb. A beautiful rich dark green colour, and as has been said, a mild garlic taste. Useful when you just want a hint of garlic, not too overpowering.

star · « **Reply #18 on:** November 04, 2007, 17:16:51 »

Thats interesting quizzical, I have never seen any on sale dried or otherwise.

It might well be worth a try :D

I think we got it from Aldi in St James star. One of their odd lines they get in from time to time?
