I don’t think I need to bang on any more about just how much I love wild garlic season & why it’s so wonderful, but this over eager forager may or may not have a fridge rammed with green foliage right now, some of which has been in there for a questionable amount of time. …
Spring has sprung & the bluebells are out… that can only mean one thing, it’s time to dust off your foraging hat & get outdoors. Granted that’s a little easier said than done this year due to Covid but nonetheless, we can each get out & about for short little foraging walk each day & …
What to do with a bunch of wild garlic leaves that need using up quickly & simply?
