Recently I gathered about half a kilo of wild garlic (allium ursinum) ina forest nearby.

I broke down a third of it to a basic pesto with salt, sunflower seeds and olive oil.

The other two thirds will be fermented.

For that I roughly washed and then kneaded it in a bowl with 2% salt to bruise the plants.

Then i put it into a large glass jar and topped it up with some 2% salt water solution.

I put some plastic wrap on top of the wild garlic to form a somewhat airtight seal and weighed it down with a few small glass bowls.

Now it sits in my kitchen for about a week. I will then test the acidity to make sure the lacto fermentaition was sucessful.

When its done, I will use it as a topping for rice and sandwiches.

@DoomsdaysCW Another idea: In my area wild garlic (#alliumursinum, super tasty) grows first. The lily of the valley (#convallariamajalis, very poisonous) joins in later. The leaves are quite similar. To avoid confusing wild garlic leaves with the ones of the #lilyofthevalley, one can plant two or three lilys of the valley in an ideal spot in the garden (with a rhizome barrier, though!). As soon as the first leaf tips appear there, take extra care when collecting #wildgarlic.
