I never knew garlic looked like this. Do they smell like kitchen garlic at this point? Posted 14 years ago

  Yes they do & you can cook with this stuff too, I've met many wild garlic gatherers, their baskets laden.. sometimes I wish it wasn't picked, like bluebells, they're totally wild & natural & need to be left. Posted 14 years ago

    Thanks for the info. This kind of conversation is what I hope JungleDragon will trigger more, not just showing nature but also learning about it :) Posted 14 years ago
