Wow! Lucky you!. I've seen the noses of lords and ladies, which, round here, are the sign that wild garlic isn't too far away.
Always peaks out at Jul here. You have to know where to look though. Its obvious by mid January.
I planted these in 2012. Theres a thread on here
Domesticating the wild garlic.....
I fancied a really large area of wild garlic (ramsoms) in the herb patch. They aren't common round here...but where I used to live there are huge carpets of them. Ramsoms by British Red, on Flickr A nice guy posted me up a box full in March lifted "in the green" (growing). NB you can only...

You must have a garlic micro climate. There's definitely curled shoots down my way.
It's the sign of hope.
i presume that's also a plant? never heard of it and my google search turned up with some rather odd results...
I've got a tree covered garden in the house we're moving to. It's got vinca in it iirc but we'll be in an area full of wild garlic so wondering whether to add some to the garden. If there's not some already. So easy to find picking patches that perhaps not worth bothering?
Where would you source wild garlic for home cultivation? Would you give it a year or so to establish before picking any?

Wild Arum - Arum maculatum. Not to be confused with wild garlic although the young leaves can look very similar. All parts contain calcium oxalate which should not be consumed.
Woodland herb garden, what's a growing there besides ransomes?
Our soon to be garden has a lot of tree cover. I wonder what herbs we should grow there? Any native plants you can use instead of common shop bought herbs? Where can you get native plants for herbs? It could be a business being a nursery for British native herbs. Or are there plant sharing websites or groups?
Then again, unless one plant is a direct replacement for a standard herb it's unlikely to get used by people. Plus most people do not have the plant knowledge to know what herb replacement plants to get. Myself included. Might be an interesting topic for a thread to discuss the matter further. Unless it's been discussed before.
I'm NOT advising people to eat or Try eating it - merely mentioning it for the historical content, however:-

Totally. I just found it relatively interesting that not only did the processed starch have a known name but it included a Geographical association also.
Thats a welcome sight. I imagine a couple of weeks for it to us further north
