Went across the field today and in the woodland section where there is a good 4 inches of snow there was the familiar smell of wild garlic and all the sprouting leaves poking out a inch or so over a very large area

Other people have said they have seen wild garlic up, but so far I have not seen it in our Hampshire woodland. Bluebells yes, wild arum yes, but no sign (or smell) of the wild garlic yet.
