Alliums are central to cooking, from leeks to wild garlic. This guide introduces the incredible variety in this genus and helps with garden planning according to your goals. Recipes at the end!
I love this article, so interesting this family of Allium - I am also trying to sow some of this ( Allium altaicum, Allium tuberosum, Allium fistulosum etc ) and I'm looking forward!
Such a brilliant deep dive and much valuable info so generously shared. Great tip about deep planting leeks. Do you not trim leeks when transplanting? Everyone seems to do it. I want a save feature here as I will absolutely be referring to this post again!
Glad you liked it, Suzanne! No need to trim leeks. I discovered the save function by accident. It's in the lower right corner of the preview in the notes, if that makes sense.
I saved this article to read when I have nothing else pressing so I can thoroughly enjoy. I love walking onions but what caught my eye was garlic chive capers..I can't wait to see what you do there. I have tons of garlic chives. I let them self seed all over the place and capers sound so yummy. Thank you!
This is a great article. Such a fabulous resource for kitchen gardeners. I love the tip to dig really deep holes to avoid hilling up around leeks. Brilliant.
Amazing information and recipes. Thank you for sharing! We are always learning.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
