Actually there is HEAPS of the stuff as you can see from the photos.<br />Thanks for following and visiting, and do post some photos of whatever you make with them. I'm wondering what it would be like mixing in some lovage leaves - you know, that hint of celery leaf flavour, I think it would be good. I've experimented with a few different nuts/seeds combinations, but so far the cashews are coming out tops.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-25358446591562030832013-04-24T18:12:23.967+01:002013-04-24T18:12:23.967+01:00That's it, I am off to CR tomorrow to see if I...That's it, I am off to CR tomorrow to see if I can sniff it out.

I bet the salad was nice - and if I were you I would be asking if you could dig up a plant now....always supposing she enough to spare ...and get it going for next year. Failing that, when her plants start to lose their flowers, take as much seed as you can and get a seed bed started, don't leave it til next year!

Last year a lady knocked on my door selling surplus organic veggies her hubby had grown, she saw my house sign and asked if I wrote a blog, she has been reading my chunterings for ages and thought I must live quite close by, it turned out she lived across the road about 100yards away!! We are good friends now and they deliver me a huge box of lovely veggies every week through the summer and autumn.<br /><br />Loving the wild garlic tips, nothing round here though :-( but my daughter in law made a brown lentil salad thingy with chives and shredded wild garlic in a vinegarette dressing it was really nice, she has some growing in her garden so I might get a bit next year.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228988475838309316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-67984794486851912272013-04-21T14:12:29.567+01:002013-04-21T14:12:29.567+01:00Oh you MUST say more!

If you h...Hi Rowan, it grows mostly in woody areas. If you have a read of the previous two posts I'm sure I've put close up photos and a good description of them. You can smell them, and although they can sometimes resemble lily-of-the-valley leaves (but you'd know if the flowers were out!) , you can taste a tiny bit of leaf and you will recognise a mild chives flavour with a faintly garlicky back-note. If you dry any herb - don't let it burn - you can crumble it and grind it with coarse sea salt; I made basil salt this morning! On a roll now!!
