Wild Onion





On our evening walk me and Bean came across some wild onion. Last week in the Gila I looked for wild onion at every camp we made and always came up empty handed. We scored big today. A whole hillside covered in wild onion And a few wild garlic. I tried to get some of the garlic but the bulbs were a bit too deep for my pocket knife, so I may go back with a little spade. The bulbs are small but very aromatic. They are covered with a fibrous material (outer leaves from previous years growth). I think I'll cook them up in an omelette.
