If yes, it’s wild garlic. If not, then it’s something else and you’re best off not eating it (lily of the valley has very similar leaves that are highly poisonous, but they don’t smell of garlic, so you should be fine).<BR/><BR/>Tarah, Foodaholic – thank you!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-23566486175968129452008-05-04T21:39:00.000+03:002008-05-04T21:39:00.000+03:00i think we have wild garlic in our garden. but i a...i think we have wild garlic in our garden. but i am not sure. how can i be sure? :)Andreeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404549223709074546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-53353713741193620582008-05-03T13:31:00.000+03:002008-05-03T13:31:00.000+03:00oh pille this is too freaky - i made wild garlic p...oh pille this is too freaky - i made wild garlic pesto last weekend too. slightly different but - i am with you wild garlic rocks!Meeta K.
