Walk through Garlic Wood

[chalis222]

 Went for a walk the other day with Zara and we were delighted by the wonderful wild garlic flowers. I have been making wild garlic pesto for the last few weeks - something which I look forward to every year. It really is something else!

I´d love to try your recipe, but there is no wild garlic around here.
I always loved the smell also and the flowers are so pretty
thanks for sharing, Dagmar!

Ooh yum! I'm going to go and have to look for some of that wild garlic...

It's best if you pick the leaves before it flowers - it loses some of its potency. But I picked some the other day and it was still very, very nice! We are addicted to it!

I don't think I've seen it round here, but I haven't really looked.

mmmmmm

I see quite a bit of this ...it's such a pretty flower, but to pick it and include in a bouquet makes it smell all garlicky!

I never thought of making a pesto...hmmm. I'll have to remember this!
