Garlic eye level

I’ve just watched Van De Valk on sky 
And remembered that  I actually bought this single in 1973

Meanwhile earlier


 This is the view of the wild garlic groves just north of Trelawnyd at Dyserth this evening 
The scent is almost overwhelming

    I remember the misic and it was a blast to hear it again. Ta!!
    As for the garlic, ours looks like a Dr. Seuss plant. All that garlic in your photo looks like too much of a good thing.

  2. Yes, I remember that music and the series. One of those programmes that everyone watched. Humming it to myself now. That wild garlic looks spectacular. Did you pick any? xx

  3. We once drove through Gilroy, California (Garlic Capital of the World) during processing season. The fragrance made our eyes water.

  4. As with bluebells, wild garlic also says spring is here.

    I bought the single of Eye Level for my Dad! The whole family watched Van Der Valk, but I found Barry Foster a huge turn off, he was far too bland and boring looking for my teenage taste!
    I have a huge tub of wild garlic in the back garden, and have already got a fair bit of pesto made and frozen. I also have a large pot of triangular leeks, which are a lot more 'oniony' in flavour, but delicious, and the flowers are wonderful on a salad!

  7. Do you pick, and use, the Wild Garlic?

  8. Never saw any of that TV series but do remember the record getting to #1. Even now the tune always makes me want to mouth the words "Tetley's time of day !" - maybe 'cos there was such a TV commercial around then?)

    I wonder if the scent effusing from those garlic groves is the same as that from garlic CLOVES. If so I'd be keeping a mile away.

  9. Will have to look out for wild garlic although not sure there is any growing near me. Would love to learn a bit about foraging too!
    Hope your day goes well today.

  10. The only place I ever saw wild garlic was when I lived in the north east. I have never seen it, or smelt it, around here. I hope you are up this morning before the bathroom fitter arrives.

  11. I love wild garlic. I used to see lots of it when I walked Olga on Hampstead Heath. Alas, we don't get over there as much anymore!
