The Garlic wood

that is so pretty

I remember walking in the woods in Wales with my then young family & wondered why I could smell garlic, I never realised there was such a plant. Being a garlic lover I have wondered if it is worth growing for its culinary flavour, is it strong would you know? Clearly a rampant plant.

Beautiful Lulu...just the sort of place I love to be! Bampy, they were using this today on Saturday kitchen, so it must be good to eat. I didn't see them making the recipe, but I guess it might be on the internet?

aagorgeous placce

That would make a smashing painting. I have used wild garlic in cooking, its not so strong as the one you buy in the shops:)

they made pesto with it i think karen? they also said if you know a place where it grows ~ dont tell anyone ~ clearly its very popular, particularly with chefs, at the moment!!!

Pretty, garlic wood.
Tasty and yes, very prolific!!

lovely woodland pathway :o))

I just love when the white garlic flower comes out. I believe it kills off the bluebells tho'. Wouldn't like it in my garden. :o))

i would like it in or near my garden ~ its delicious!!!

I noticed it has crept under the tarmac and is now growing under our hedge!! Don't really want it in my flower beds...

eeeeeeeeeek ~ lots more salads??? garlic bread??

sluggy could pull it up for you???

There was a TV programme where they photographed a beautiful bluebell wood which had been completely changed by garlic taking over.....beware!

lulu help, my garlic pesto wasnt anything like as good as yours.

Just go with the flow....they taste different every time! you can always pick up more next week!

Not many bluebells in this small wood Linda. But really don't want it in the garden!

could have been the pecorino instead of parmesan???
