[sweet nasturtium]

I bought some seeds in Germany (bear garlic they call it).

[WG.]

ramsons we call it.  It grows wild nearby.  Shade loving

[sweet nasturtium]

Do you ever cook with it or eat it?

we talking wild garlic here?

[WG.]

Some do, I haven't.  I've always got lots of garlic planted so can harvest green tops without plundering the wild stuff.

Bear garlic / ramsons / wood garlic to be honest I'm not sure.

You doubt me     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsons

Wouldn't dare doubt anyone, far too busy doubting myself!

So now it's got four names / bear, wood, wild garlic and ramsons.  The question I'm really asking is, is it worth cultivating and how much would I use it?

we talking wild garlic here?

I'm glad it's not just me confused, I thought wood garlic and wild garlic are two dif things, but then neither of them seem to know what to do with any of them, nor do I, BTW. I just eat any garlic for salad, sorry.

You've got the seeds so, yes.  Damp shady place methinks.

Anyone else wanting garlic greens, the easy way is to sow the all of the fiddly little cloves which are too small to peel.  Sow them thickly.  You will get a couple of cuttings off of them and they may last more than one season.

:oops:  what do you use garlic greens for?  :oops:

[muntjac]

anything you can use onions for .nice in salads  

[WG.]

stir fries, taboulleh, casseroles, soups, salads

So is there any difference between wood garlic and proper garlic?
