Foraging For Wild Garlic Edible Plants : GardenFork.TV
//GardenFork.TV Forage for Wild Edible Plants: Wild Garlic, aka Spring Garlic, Field Garlic is an edible wild food you will find growing in early spring.
Eric where I live we do have freezing weather but not real harsh. Last year
it got in the low 20's but doesn't hold these temps very long. Christmas
day were expecting temps in the low 80's, crazy weather. if it does freeze
do you think my garlic will come back in the spring???
+Mick Johnson Hi Mick, probably. hard neck garlic is better for cold temps. you can check on the FilareeFarm.com website, they have some good info. eric.
Eric I planted my first ever garlic in mid September in large pots I live
in Georgia not far from Florida line. Right now plants are about 20inches
tall. we are just now starting to get some cold weather, will these plants
still die back and then come back out in spring.
+GardenFork Mmmmm scallions, great idea. I had no idea that ramps were in trouble. We are in So. Cal and see them at the farmers markets from time to time. Going to ask the vendor next time if they are wild-harvested or grown.
+Balconygarden Ramps are, in my opinion, an endangered plant. Over-harvesting of ramps has depleted them in our nearby woods. Blame their popularity in the foodie world. They reproduce very slowly and need specific soil and light conditions. Garlic, on the other hand, is very abundant! and grows very quickly. And how about scallions instead of the ramps? thx! eric.
+Dee From Brooklyn Hey Dee, garlic needs direct sun. I've grown them in BKLN for years. thx, eric.

Wild Edibles / Food U.K. - April - Ramsons/wild Garlic first in series
first in a wild edible series for the U.K. of what i know to be quick and easy foods to recognize out on walks in the country side. Here i talk about wild garlic, ...
Hey mate, I am building up to have videos for wild edibles year round, I
covered quite a few easy ones last year, but never had the time to dedicate
to some winter ones. Is hedge garlic also known as jack by the hedge? It is
just started to flower by me now, perfect timing for a video I think ;)
good technique with the nettle cooking, sounds great with an omelette, when
I get out next I plan to see what kind of salad sandwich I can make with
spring edibles
Adorably presented, and very useful! We have these in our back garden, will
definitely double check for the garlic smell and will check the flowers as
shown and described. Looking forward to trying it!
Could you also do one on wild onion? I believe there's some in my garden
too, but it's hard to find a UK-specific plant identification videos for a
newbie like myself.
Great video!
Showing the difference between the regular part of my garden, and the new "Garden of Eden" part that I added this year. Also transplanting some wild garlic I ...
more than likely that garlic your transplanting will die out this yr but
dont disturb it the best time to do it is in the fall after its bloomed
what your thinking of that you can plant the tops of is what my granpaw
called walkin onions as far as i know on the garlic ya seperate the bulbs
and replant them thats how i done mine once youve got a bunch established
then itll spread and take over everything unless you contain it i do this
by eating the outside bunches and leaving the center plants
easy and simple take a couple of 5 gal buckets put in or about middle of
your garden i put mine about 1/2 way in ground put approx 3gal of water put
in some brewers yeast or you can use reg but the brewers seems to work best
put in about 1/2 cup of sugar put on top but leave off cap maintain water
level as needed about 1 every 2 wks add 1/4 cup of sugar you now have a
carbon dioxide generator plants will thrive and its still natural or you
can hose it to a specific plant if needed try it!
haha I guess we could call 911 for ya! Be careful on hills. =) As for the
wild garlic, you won't have to worry..it goes everywhere! I got loads of it
all over my front yard that I weed eat & pull up all the time. I was
wondering if you could eat it. Those things will reseed themselves
everywhere so you don't have to worry. I'm doing a Back to Eden garden
also. Just building it up this year to about 8 inches deep,then I will make
rows, throw down some compost & cottonseed meal & plant.
Hi John. Great video. I'll have to agree with rdnkfnk. When my friend gave
me some in the mid 1990's, he told me that you can't kill them (unless you
eat them). They do grow bulbs from that part you were pointing to. Plant
those or uncontrolled they will plant themselves. That's why they're called
walking onions. They're called many different names. My friend called
Egyptian onions. But they are delicious like a scallion or in a salad. Use
the whole plant. Thanks 4 the video.
Hi Jon, nice video. I was thinking about what you said about planting the
tops of the garlic plants to make new ones. I'm not so sure about that but
there is a perennial variety of onion that reproduces like that. It's
called a walking onion/tree onion. You plant the bulb, the tall
garlic/onion type leaves come up and a new bulb develops on the top. Once
the plant starts to die back the new bulb hits the ground and hey presto, a
new plant.
go back to your garlic later this growing season and grab the seeds they
put on. At the top where you pointed out. Then sow them where you want it
to grow. The garlic will flower first and then put on a seed pod. I have
garlic growing everyplace and can send you all of the seeds you could want.
The garlic greens are also good to eat. you can harvest them several times
before digging up the cloves.
That wood chip pile has been there for about 5 years. I just used them as a
filler on the hill. When I saw the back to eden vid, I pulled out all the
grass and weeds, and noticed the soil. It really is amazing to watch the
plants flourish with out any work, or fertilizer. I haven't even watered
that part yet. J
I have them all over a flower bed. They keep reproducing. Love the smell of
em so I dont touch em. Wild onions too. Been waitin to see ur garden for a
few a week now. Just as i thought too. Saw vid today of backtoeden. Its
nothing new but he's surely perfected it. Thanks for the info! Bless your
harvest.
@ jmull0, Amazing difference between your gardening beds. How many years
until you noticed a real difference in your soil with the Back to Eden
gardening? On that wild garlic, keep an eye out after the seed heads have
developed and explode in mild-late summer. Those will be your new starter
cloves.
Not only will your plants grow better the taste of the produce will knock
your socks off. We did that with our cherry orchard and turned trees that
were going to be cut down into really great wonderful producers. Keep up
the great vids, God Bless!
Huge difference J, the tomatoes look real nice. I fell on my "camera" a few
weeks back doing a fishing vid, but editied it out. I should have left it
in. LOL! That was funny, sorry I had to say it. Take care, REALLY! :)

Awesome video man.... You are starting to be one of my top 5 fave channels
to watch. And it it isnt just cause you roll down the hill often either....
but it does add a little bit of funny to the video. Strive on!!!
you should start a compost barrel, look around on youtube its easy and its
about the best thing for your garden, takes months to break down but it
would be ready for next year
I'm sorry you fell brother and I'm glad you're not hurt but I laughed until
I cried, had to go back and watch the garden part because I was laughing so
hard, Great Vid!
The new garden area is the wood chips that have broken down over the last 5
years. I didn't realize the soil was that good until I removed the grass
and weeds. J
composted soil is very rich in nutriants for plants. check out journey to
forever dot org (no spaces and the w's adding in) for more more info on
composting
John thanks for the video today. I had been feeling like crap all day at
work. I needed the laugh. Sorry I wasn't laughing at you I was laughing
with you...
Awesome, I have never seen wild garlic before. BTW, you really need to
learn how to walk John. LOL
