I guess that's a good sign that we don't have the poisonous variety!A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-24662546647503505442011-03-14T07:36:50.181-07:002011-03-14T07:36:50.181-07:00Masha - as much as there is here, it is hard to be...Masha - as much as there is here, it is hard to believe it hasn't taken over the whole world! I hope it never spreads there. Not a bad weed to control in the flower beds, but still, a weed is a weed!<br /><br />Caroline - Only this false garlic is poisonous. The other wild onion and wild garlic is edible. You have to smell them to really tell the difference.

Come to think of it, we enjoy lots of poisonous plants here, oleander and azaleas to name a few, so it is not so bad. I don't think I have seen false garlic before though...Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-8417254576911499192011-03-13T15:50:04.753-07:002011-03-13T15:50:04.753-07:00Carol - I'd rather have false snow than the re...Carol - I'd rather have false snow than the real stuff, too.
