Garlic WIN

A couple of years back, I planted some wild garlic round the base of an apple tree in a very dim and dingy corner.

Today (after a long period in which my garden was horribly neglected) I looked round and realized that the corner is full of wild garlic.

Apparently, like mint, it's one of those of those plants that will try to stage a coup if you end up in hospital for five months turn your back.

I am rubbing my hands with glee and plotting tasty salads.

Definitely -- just remind me later in the year or I'll forget.

Hello! I have had a note to do this in my diary for months, & I think it's finally the right time of year.

Would you be able to dig me up a wild garlic bulb or two? If you'd like some garlic chives in return, I have LOADS which helpfully self-seeded... actually I have a lot of regular chives, too.

bulb-drop at the Arch sounds good :)
