Wild garlic
🗓 Season: March · April · May
🔍 When is it ripe?
Star-shaped white flowers and glossy, oval leaves appearing in March–May. Harvest leaves before the flowers open for best flavour. Strong garlic smell confirms identification — do not confuse with toxic lily of the valley (no garlic smell). Bulbs, leaves, and flowers all edible.
Dunno what species of allium this is, but I call it wild onion or field garlic - pleasant, onion-y taste and can be gathered in abundance without over harvesting patch. Also lots of stinging nettles nearby, and many black raspberries in this area of woods. A worthwhile foraging spot, spring through fall. Most stuff on west side eastern trail extension, between the two trail splits. Nice view of the city at this spot, too.
