Colleen replied to Heidi's discussion 'Wondering if anyone can identify this, is it wild garlic?'

I have a dear friend who harvests what looks like this every year on her acreage near Bancroft, Ontario (Canada). It is known in this area as Wild Leek. She pickles, and freezes, and uses fresh for stir-fry. It is only available for harvesting for…

Looks like just plain old garlic to me too !! Perhaps you tossed some out without realizing it !! Normally it is harvested in the fall but the bulbs are much sweeter if harvested earlier !! You can dig around the root and see how big the bulbs are a…

Hi Maggie, I've never tried but I imagine it would dry ok. I'll pick a bunch and hang it upside down in my workshop and let you know.

Looks like regular garlic to me too. I should post a pic of mine then you can compare.

I would love to find wild garlic, I have never seen it. Can you dry it?

Ian replied to Heidi's discussion 'Wondering if anyone can identify this, is it wild garlic?'

Hi Heidi, It could be wild garlic. If it is the bulb will have LOTS of tiny satellite bulbs around it. I'm in the south west of France and harvesting now before the plants get too large. We have hundreds in all over our garden. We use it like salad…

Thanks for looking, Landscape, it has not put out shoots yet. This edible part is within the white bulb in the shoot?

Thank you Chris! I will update!

That looks like garlic to me . has it flowered ? Garlic flowers have a little garlic like node which tastes amazing. looks like it has sprouted from last years cloves.

Chris Bocchino replied to Heidi's discussion 'Wondering if anyone can identify this, is it wild garlic?'

Sure looks like regular garlic plants to me. It looks as though an entire bulb was planted in the same hole. If it is garlic you will be able to harvest it when about 2/3 of the leaves are dead. Hope this helps and keep us updated...................…

Wondering if anyone can identify this, is it wild garlic?

The photo is here. I'm not sure if this is onion, wild garlic, ramps? The greens taste chive like. Last summer, they put out shoots at one point with whitish round balls. Would love identity advice and ideas of when to harvest them! Thank you!

Heidi commented on Heidi's photo 'Wild-Garlic'

Can anyone identify this? Is it wild garlic, ramps? The greens taste like chives. At some point the will make shoots with white round bulbs coming off of them. Would love to know what it is, and when to harvest, thanks!

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

Hi Joel Rhubarb is one plant that is best grown from a small portion of a known variety, [a piece of root with a bud] rather than from seed. We have about five degrees of frost right now [which is unusual], but in a week or so when the soil thaws, i…

If you did this well with your first garden just imagine what next year's harvest will be like. But why wait until March? Here in Florida we can be growing so many great things in the winter months. (beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, collards, must…

I may have to grow some Rhubarb just to see if it is something I will like. It is in all my catologs & I was told that it will stand on it on after the frist year.

Tomatoes

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.
