  1. In more more positive news, one of my elephant garlic flowers is hatching!!

    This is my 6th? 7th? year growing elephant garlic. I have more or less accepted that the bulbs themselves are not that exciting to eat, but I still enjoy the plants a lot, especially the blooms!

    The flowers will gradually turn purple in the sun. #gardening #alliums #ElephantGarlic #bloomscrolling

  3. The only one of my elephant garlic to bloom, still wearing its jaunty little hat.

    (Before anyone starts giving tips, I have successfully grown elephant garlic for the last 5 years, but last year me and all my garlic got evicted and the already flowering plants endured being put in pots and carted across town in blazing heat. I get why this year the others haven't bloomed. I like the blooms almost more than the cloves.) #gardening @gardening #garlic #alliums #ElephantGarlic #bloomscrolling

  5. In the Ergative Absolutive household, we often quantify key groceries in terms of 'fucktons'. For example: 'I have picked up half a fuckton of garlic'.

    In today's grocery delivery, I ordered a full fuckton of onions. Because the grocery store does not offer metric fucktons, I had to translate that into 4 kilograms of onions.

    Instead, I got 4 onions.

    Four onions is not a fuckton!

  7. A surprise allium. I scattered seeds years ago. This is the first flower I got.

    Every year I forget what these flowers are called because it is such a general name. #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Alliums #Spring #Florespondence #Gardening

  12. It’s been a beautiful weekend in the spring garden 🪴 - May is such a vivid month outdoors 💗💚💜.
    A garden full of bees, foxgloves and alliums.

  15. I just want convenient frozen meatballs without onions and garlic. #FODMAP #Alliums

  16. Oh noes, I've sprung a leek (#seeds)!

    The biggest difficulty I have with growing edible alliums is not letting them run to flower, as they do have the most excellent sci-fi blooms).

    These three got to about 6 or 7 feet tall before starting to die off.

    They also made a log of bumblebees and hoverflies very happy.
