growing good here!

My patch is up about 2 inches. Need about 2 more weeks.

Anyone know the laws on selling ramps from a farm stand in new york?

They've popped up here as of recent! Ate a few, but I think they were a little premature. I found most of them around river bottoms. yumm.

My daughter bought a house on 40 acres last fall, and the Bride and I were over there for Easter. Her woods are FULL of Leeks. There are, literally, 10's of thousands of them. Just walking in her woods stirs up all manner of onion smells. I'm hoping the morels are as thick! Best part....neither my daughter, or her man-friend, will eat fungus, Both will, however, pick them for me!!

Good deal for you. im still on the hunt for ramps here. i gave it a rest for a while but i'll be back at it soon.

Jeremy, in my neck of the woods you find leeks/ramps in rich woods. By rich I am referring to the soil. Around here your more apt to find them in the same forest type where you find lots of Trilliums,or, if your a morel hunter, where you find the bigger "white" morels. Here that usually means a woods with lots of Hard(Sugar) Maple. I would think Pa. would be the same...anyone else able to articulate it better?.... I sometimes have a hard time getting a point across in print, but it basically means head for the woods with the best soil. They aren't as common here in woods that are mostly pine/spruce, because they are able to grow on soils that are less fertile, and more acidic.

Jeremy, The ramps here are ready for eating now. They should be easy to find if you stumble into the right area.

Im going to look for some morels this weekend so maybe i'll get lucky.

Thanks for the help!

Whats a good price for selling ramps?

see what green onions go for at the store. You dont want to sell them for nothin but you dont want to price yourself out of a sale.

How do you eat them?

they are used just like onion or garlic the tops and bulbs can be used. they are very good if you pickel them.

Keep an eye on them and in late summer look for the seed heads.
Early fall dig a few up and look at how big they are!

Make sure you have the right thing with an onion smell to it.
