This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

wild garlic
This year, the fields near our community garden are filled with wild garlic. Much more than previous years. There seem to be two different varieties, one with a larger flower (photos above) and the other smaller (photo below).
I am assuming its wild garlic. It has small heads with 3 or 4 cloves, like garden garlic. Much of the wild garlic photos I see on line are a pretty white flowered variety with wide flat leaves. This is quite different.

Where are the pictures of your garlic??!
the last few posts have been picture-free -- is that intentional?

hmmm, looks like something is going on with this post.
Oops. I am behind in posting. I will add post and photos of fantastic wild garlic in the fields soon.
I see the pictures and those sell for a bunch of $$ as "hair alliums". I'[ve been wanting some for my garden and you get them wild. lucky.
that is a beautiful photo, Kathy, garlic is a lovely thing, and you've captured the flowering bits so delicately.
