I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

Dehydrating and grinding worked well. Makes a VERY fine powder that floated out of the grinder when I opened it. Doesn't have the up front bitiness of real garlic but does have a lovely lingers-in-your-mouth aftertaste. I think it would work well in a creamy soft cheese with a glass of crisp white wine. I'll try adding it to salt later and see how it goes sprinkled on fresh sliced tomato.

Interesting. I just heard the other day that this was #edible. It is the leaf or do they have a bulb like other #garlic? #societygarlic #tulbaghia #tulbaghiaviolacia #gyo #flavoring

@lovestogarden Leaves in the dehydrator ATM. Flowers are edible. There's a small bulb but I'm not sure about edibility... I've never bothered to look into it because there's so much foliage 😊

I just came across this, you say you dry the leaves on your society garlic? I have that too so I might just try that. I did know it was edible

Hash tags are a great way to group photos by topic and/or subject matter. Anyone can start a hashtag or add to one. Simply place a # ahead of any word or phrase you want to create or add to. 😊
