Wild Garlic carpet

Spring is definitely here at last, and we've had our first foraging walk of the year.

Near us, the woodland floor is carpeted with wild garlic - excellent in salads or chopped into cooked dishes, and it makes a tasty pesto (in a PiP)!

In the UK it's illegal to dig up wild plants (without the landowner's permission) but ok to take leaves, flowers and fruit. Taking one leaf from a wild garlic plant is perfectly sustainable as it continues to grow happily.
