sue 1 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 ive never tried wild garlic but i do grow cultivated stuff i have loads of friends lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,182 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 It grows in pretty much in the same places as Bluebells, it likes moisture and you eat the leaves as you would a salad. I have also tried it slightly cooked like spinage. My six year old loves it I had to stop him from eating it on the way back home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Cooney. 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I buy and chop up garlic to put in my dogs, fowl and ferrets food and water. Would I get the same result from wild garlic bulbs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I gave the left over leaves to the dogs(in their food) and they ate them all, two of my bitches ate them straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icedgin 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I use wild garlic along with chicken stock, nettles, spuds, carrots and pigeon breasts makes a nice casserole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 RAMSONS and WILD GARLIC are two different things WILD GARLIC has thin strap like leaves. A tight sphere of tiny pinkish flowers. Its the bulb used from this plant. RAMSONS (a type of wild garlic) have broad oval leaves a cluster of star shaped flowers. Feck all bulb really, its the leaves used from this plant, like a pot herb. Sorry for being a SWAT!!!....... ive eaten plenty of both, really good for you aswell!!
