Appreciation photo only, these paths are too well trodden by doggies to pick

I only learned about wild garlic a couple of weeks ago and did some research to see what I could make from it. It's safe to say I'm hooked. This stuff is amazing and it grows by the mile around here.

It’s that time of the year for foraging and ‘Wild Garlic’ has spruced in abundances. Here is an amazing ‘Wild Garlic Veloute/ Soup’ which is a completely ‘Whole Food Plant Based’.
