The ground is covered in what looks like that narrow leaved plant, all over the shady place in which my doggies are buried. The flower on it is more white harebell like in appearance although the scent is strong onion-y garlic and, as the flower dies, small shiny green bulbous forms are appearing.

The bulb is a lot smaller than cultivated garlic but is also edible. I don't know if the seeds are edible but I have eaten them and they are nice!

The smells are very pungent and I was wondering if the seeds can be used for flavour or indeed can wild garlic be used. I presume the bulb in the same as cultivated garlic and below the strap-like leaves. I live near a forest and it is covered in wild garlic.

This one also grows in many places throughout Europe. Obviously you shouldn't go picking wild food unless you know exactly what you are picking. Jean, there is more than one type of wild garlic.

This photo could mislead someone into trying out a plant with strap like leaves, many of which are poisonous.
