Wild garlic — the spring version of free food. (Blackberries are the autumn bounty.)

First crop of the year

The wild garlic is out, and I foraged a considerable amount this afternoon to turn into dinner and some preserves. Maybe I take the post-processing on this shot too far but it’s an element of variety.

I’ve totally discovered this plant (also known as ramsons) this year, thanks to Joe, as it happens. I sort of always knew it was there but he was shown it on a school trip and the fact that you can just pick it up and eat the leaves from the ground – and they taste delicious – appealed to him; and to me, too. And it’s lovely in salads. Or the stems gently fried. And free. And it grows everywhere.
Just imagine if you could actually subsist on this stuff. They’d find someway to privatise it, for sure. I always think the same about blackberries, another lovely free food.
