Post #1 - May 10th, 2011, 10:41 amI have an abundant crop of wild garlic and am trying to figure out what to do with it. I know I can fairly easily turn some into a soup but I have a LOT. Any ideas?

Post #3 - May 10th, 2011, 11:34 amNo it's wild garlic, I found a link with the best photo. It has a small bulb and is very intense in garlic smell. The tops just look like a tall grass. My cousin is a U of I Extension Master Gardener and is the one who gave me the original start of this but it has really spread around my yard and I have hundreds. Unfortunately she is off on a trip and out of reach for a week.

Post #5 - May 10th, 2011, 11:40 amAha. You learn something every day. I've never known there was a difference between wild onions and wild garlic. Like an idiot I pulled all mine out a few years ago when I put in the vegetable garden. My yard has plenty of dandelion greens though.i used to milk cows

Post #7 - May 10th, 2011, 2:12 pmWild garlic is usually quite potent. Some years ago a friend and I were walking thru a field and he said "Ah, wild onion," and before I could stop him, he chomped down. You might have thought he bit into a habanero!
I used lots in pickles. Haven't used any for some time, but suppose they would make be great as a confit.
