Heidi and TAR HEEL are now friends

June 25

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 fo...

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...

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 sala...

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!

amna mufti commented on amna mufti's photo 'turnips'

I don't eat turnip greens but some people use them in a mixture of other leaves i;e.mustard, fenugeri ,spinach and turnip greens.These leaves are collected when very young, the variety is also different.
