It looks so soft and inviting. And it's all garlic? I'm used to seeing it growing in neat little rows, but I guess that's not how nature intended, is it?
i'm going to have a look at the back of the garden for the small bunch of wild garlic we have. i like the new header: there's a definite promise in it :)
That is so beautiful. You take such beautiful photos, CGP, really makes me want to move to Scotland (although I've never been there...). Don't think I could handle the climate though.
Can you eat wild garlic? I LOVE garlic!!! What can I say, I'm an Italian girl ;)
beautiful photo. does the wild garlic omit a strong odor? we have wild onions and their odor is pretty strong but i find myself enjoying their scent anyway. i been noticing some signs of new growth though not as much as i would like to see. nice poem. hope all is well.
It looks beautiful and soft. I noticed the chives in my backyard when I was hiding Easter eggs. I ate a couple of them - so much better than last year when I crunched on a few in August. :(
The woodland floor is vibrant with wild garlic leaves even though the trees are mostly barely in bud.
Wow! Already? there's not a sign here yet, though as the bluebells are sprouting it can't be long.
ReplyDeleteWhat a verdant scene! Love the Haiku: the Gower Jackdaws were chattering away and sorting out their nests yesterday, too.

bunnygirl, Ascender - its not the same plant as cultivated garlic, but in a couple of weeks the woods will smell strongly of garlic.
