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 youend up in hospital for five months turn your back.
I am rubbing my hands with glee and plotting tasty salads.

I made pesto with garlic scapes last spring, when some appeared in my CSA box. It was outstanding. I wonder if wild garlic might be suitable for that, too....
