Field Garlic
Allium oleraceum
This is yet another plant from Lieven. I have this growing on my roof, with both of these plants in a very small pot but they seem to be doing well.
It has a very strange topset, with both bulbils AND seeds! It’s the first topset to form this year in my garden. Apparently the seed pods are on the end of the long tendrils.
The taste of the leaves is garlic like, but not overly special, and the texture of the leaves is a little unplesant.
I don’t know yet what the root looks or tastes like. If it’s anything interesting, I will do another post about it.

I think I’d give this garden space on looks alone, it’s very life-enhancing, I can’t stop chuckling at the thought of it. Hope it tastes good, look forward to hearing

Just like Joanna, I think that even if it doesn’t taste that goog it would have some space in my garden just for its looks. That’s a very interesting looking plant
