Levurda - bear garlic (Allium ursinum)

in #gardening4 years ago

So @esteem app got updated to work with the new block chain, Hive, a fork from Steem. Let's try a short post to test it out!

@riverflows provided the inspiration - a post about wild garlic. Here it's very wide spread especially in the forests of the Balkan mountains. However, now with the quarantine, travel is not possible, so I'm glad a few years back I tried to start growing the plant in our garden.

This photo is from 10 days ago, before a sudden snow event dropped 30 cm of fresh wet snow in 2 days. Since then, it's almost all melted and we expect to have another one next week. April snow...

This type of allium prefers a shady moist spot in spring, as it's natural habitat is ground cover in a deciduous forest. Dappled shade, moist organic mulch. I removed the mulch for the photo, otherwise it was mulched with the leaves of the elder bush growing above it.

Awesome and good luck. They have used this plant all across history, just seems ww have forgotten about it.

I tried to grow some here under the treeline, but they died...

Did you had ample moisture in spring and a shady location and organic mulch? They also suffer from underground attacks from rodents. Another thing is not letting the bulbs dry out completely in very dry summers.

Yes, yes, and yes, BUT I noticed you said deciduous trees and I had put them under pines...
