Garlic WIN

[rydra_wong]

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.

Yay! Must see about getting hold of some for my garden, too - I got some in my veg box for the first time last week, and it made a lovely risotto along with some mushrooms, spring onions and parmesan. I'd love to try the idea of making pesto with it, too.

Ooh. That risotto sounds excellent. I can report that it was very nice raw in a salad with poached eggs on top.
