One of the things I like about this time of year is the appearance of wild garlic or Ramsons. When the flowers come out you will know about it because of the overwhelming smell of garlic when you wonder through the woods.
If you don’t like garlic I would ignore this next bit. The leaves of this plant taste fantastic (good mixed with salad leaves or chopped into a risotto) and you can eat the flowers as well (they are also great sprinkled on a salad). For many other recipes you can click here.
As usual I am quite lucky with living where I live as I have wild garlic growing just up the road from me so I can pick it fresh when I want to. It does have a season so I recommend that if you see some pick it and give it a go.
You may remember that in the last post I made a bit of a fuss about the over complicating of germinating seeds. It is only fair that I put my money where my mouth is and show you how my seeds are getting on.
Here we have cucumber, melon, courgette, and chillies but you will note that the squash seeds are yet to show,
And here are cabbages, cauliflowers, chard but no celery yet.
Is it going to be cold again because I want to get my potatoes in?
