Oh, i have plenty of it in my garden and difficult to get rid of. But i think it tastes a bit bitter. Garlic? no, not at least from my garden.

Know about another crucifer Alliaria petiolata (syn: Sisymbrium alliaria), which has garlic taste/smell and known as garlic mustard. It has large simple leaves, and grows commonly in Western Himalayas.

yes, Alliaria petiolata (syn: Sisymbrium alliaria) germanname: Knoblauchsrauke also occurs in plenty in my garden.

I know and have in my garden three garlic smelling plants in my garden. Knoblauchsrauke (Alliaria petiolata), Schnittlauch (Allium schoenoprasum) and Bärlauch (Allium ursinum).

Shall upload the fotos in separate mails, now that my computer is working again.
