First fruits of spring

We went to get wild garlic today. It was so beautiful in the woods and the patch that I knew it was growing from when I still lived in Schwamendingen had maybe doubled in size. I didn't have my camera then, you have to imagine the rich green carpet of spicy smelling plants unter the still leaveless branches of trees, in the afternoon sun.

When we got home we had a sink full of garlic:


We dried the leaves


I chopped some up and put it in the fridge, we froze the rest in a paper bag. Now Tref has some garlic cakes frying... yummy! :o)

Und ich war zu blöde den Bärlauch auszusähen, als es noch frostig war, weil auch Schnee lag und all das. Ich glaub dieses Jahr im September such ich mir nen schönen Platz aus. Oder ich pack die Samen in den Gefrierschrank und sähe jetzt noch. Schon dumm wenn weit und breit nix wildes wächst.
