Alliums & Chives with Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson - Episode 14
There’s nothing quite like bringing the garden together with alliums as they take over from the last of the late tulips. If you tend to them carefully and remove the leaves that are prone to looking tatty, then you can welcome a standard of colour and life comparable to the Chelsea Flower Show into your garden.
Alliums are an equally exciting addition you can take to the kitchen, with Society Garlic bringing the flavour without the halitosis. We also cover chives in this episode, which is a stunning perennial herb with uses in a delicious salad or a chive tea.
In this episode, discover:
- Sarah and Arthur’s favourite selection of Alliums to fill the ‘May Gap’
- How to treat Allium foliage to allow other flowers to bloom
- The need to tend to Alliums that self-seed before they hinder other flowers
- Picking wild garlic and chives, and growing them in the home
- Sarah’s baked potato recipe with Wensleydale and garlic pesto
