This one-minute video on “Crow’s Garlic” isn’t necessarily informative in terms of identifying this specific wild Allium.. but it does point to the fact that there are all sorts of wild Alliums (onions/garlics) that are edible, with distinctive hollow leaves.. I’ve also “heard” that some wild Alliums are not edible, or could be relatively poisonous.. Dunno, unconfirmed.. anyone know anything about which wild Alliums to avoid, if any??

Fairies and potatoes are my two favorite things. It popped-up on YouTube for me and it seems great for our water logged back yard. If only the chickens didn’t eat anything and everything…hmmm

That’s easy to deal with.. put up some chicken wiring around the area where you scatter the seeds.. it’ll keep the chickens out until the seeds can germinate and start growing.. I’d do it pronto, and keep the fencing up the rest of the grow season.. fencing doesn’t need to be tall, just maybe 1′-2′ tall, enough that they can’t jump it.. I learned the trick of fencing off seeded areas from EdibleAcres.. love their chicken yard operation.. 🙂
