Wild garlic (Allium ursinum, Ramsons)
Plz note Garlic in the green may be smaller than in the picture as season is just beginning beginning here.
We live in the west coast of Scotland next to the sea in a sheltered spot and my deciduous woodlands with moist soil are plentiful with wild garlic. Our Wild Garlic Bulbs are always the first on the market due to our location. The wild garlic bulbs in the green will be dug and dispatched on the same day to keep them fresh. These plants are totally organic and over the last three years we have sold thousands of wild garlic bulbs. ready for planting . You will always receive more than what is advertised, ten or more extra incase you loose any.  We have had plenty of experience in packaging etc and excellent feedback as seen in our profile.  I love wild garlic myself and use it often and have listed a lot of information for you to read if you wish.  Our bulbs will come boxed and well wrapped inside and quick postage. Please message me if you want anymore info and I shall do my best to answer although the internet is full of ideas and delicious recipes and planting info etc.  If you have a garden, excellent, even if you are in a flat they can be planted in tubs. You dont have to be green fingered for these plants they will grow and multiply easily. 
If you have any problems with your plants please get in touch and I will help .
Wild garlic (Allium ursinum, Ramsons) is widespread across most of Europe and grows mostly in woodlands with moist soils preferring slightly acidic soil but can flourish in most soils and tubs etc as long as you keep them slightly shaded and very moist.
As the flowers begin to open in the middle of spring, the leaves start to lose their vitality. At this time transfer your attention to the flowers, using them in exactly the same way as the leaves. They have a somewhat stronger flavour and make a decorative and very tasty addition to salads. The flowering heads can still be eaten as the seed pods are forming, though the flavour gets even stronger as the seeds ripen.
From a health perspective, wild garlic has most of the benefits of the cultivated garlic. It is therefore a very beneficial addition to the diet, promoting the general health of the body when used regularly. It is particularly effective in reducing high blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels.
The juice of the plant has been used as a general household disinfectant and has antibacterial and antifungal properties, as well as antioxidant properties, that protect against free radicals. It may activate macrophages to reduce the synthesis of LDL cholesterol and protect against plaques and blood clots. Adenosine acts as a muscle relaxant and as a protectant against poisons, such as caffeine. It helps increase blood vessel width and can also reduce platelet aggregation (blood stickiness).
Cooking with Wild Garlic
All parts of this plant are edible in quantity when it is in season. The leaves are delicious raw or cooked and can be harvested as early as the middle of January in mild winters. They have a distinct garlic flavour, though are milder than garlic cloves, and really add something special to a winter salad. When cooked, they are normally used as a flavouring in soups, stews etc, though can be used like spinach.
The leaves of A. ursinum are edible; they can be used as salad, herb,  as a vegetable boiled in soup, or as an ingredient for pesto instead of basil. The stems are preserved by salting and eaten as a salad in Russia. A variety of Cornish Yarg cheese has a rind coated in wild garlic leaves. The bulbs and flowers are also edible. It is used for preparing herbed cheese, a Van speciality in Turkey.
wild garlic can be used anywhere where you would use onion or garlic, particularly as the base of a sauce, be it pasta, curry, stew or soup. You can also substitute it for spinach for delicious variations on dishes such as lasagne.
In 1992 Allium ursinum was declared the "Medicinal Plant of the Year" by the Association for the Protection and Research on European Medicinal Plants. Allium ursinum has all the benefits of Allium sativum products on the market but also has three advantages over this domesticated garlic:it has more of the active substances it has active substances not found in cultivated garlic, or found only when large quantities are taken it is odourless
Once this plant is established in your garden, you are unlikely to be without it, or to need to propagate it. However, should you want to introduce it to a new site, eitherharvest the bulb in early summer and sow it immediately in a shady site either in situ under deciduous foliage (preferably dark enough to inhibit grass growth) or in trays in a cold frame. It usually germinates well and should produce plants large enough for harvesting in the third year of growth it not sooner when it first flowers; or dig up some bulbs in the summer, once the plants have died down, and plant them immediately into their new site. They will be ready for harvesting from their second year of growth.
Allium ursinum – known as ramsons, buckrams, wild garlic, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bears garlic – is a wild relative of chives native to Europe and Asia. The Latin name is due to the brown bears taste for the bulbs and its habit of digging up the ground to get at them; they are also a favourite of wild boar. 
Wild garlic grows abundantly throughout the UK, preferring semi-shade under deciduous trees. It will succeed in most soils and prefers moist conditions, though it will also succeed where the soil is very wet in the winter. When given suitable conditions, it will form a dense carpet of growth and can be very invasive. The plant comes into growth in the middle to late winter, flowers in the spring (before deciduous trees leaf) filling the air with their characteristic garlic-like scent and then dies down completely by the middle of summer. This allows many other plants that come into growth in spring to grow in the same space.
Allium ursinum is an excellent companion plant in the garden, it grows well with most plants and seems to positively affect their health and their ability to resist pests and diseases. It does not seem to grow so well with plants in the pea and bean family, however, with many gardeners noticing reduced growth and vigour .

PLEASE NOTEWe only dig and post on a mon-weds as we do not want the plants possibly lying in a post office over the weekend.  Im sorry but will not post outside of the UK
