We planted them in bunches, so it will take awhile before we can harvest from our area. We more than likely will have to go and pick them from the same place we picked last year, and also transplant more in our woods. I did go out and look yesterday, and I did find some coming up.

I was curious when they should be coming up. I did notice some of them flowered last year, so that gave me hope that I will get something this year. Getting excited!! We planted ramps last year.

We probably won't be able to tell for another month or so if something's coming up that looks like ramps. I hope so! I don’t know yet!

I'm wondering if they'll grow in my Pacific Northwest garden. There's an outfit in Richwood that sells bulbs and seeds. So … are the ramps you planted last year starting to show up this spring?

Just last year i gathered up what i guessed to be 20 to 40 thousand ramp seeds and with the help of my young boys planted them in several areas around the woods near my house. I also planted some in two local parks. the woods there have a small plot of ramps that i have harvested over the past two years but i wanted to fill the hills and valleys with them!!!!!!!! next year I will gather up more seeds and do the same i wish i would have started doing this 6 years ago!

Like you, I split them up and placed them strategically around the woods in places I thought they were most likely to be happy, however, the most recent attempt was the simplest and most successful. The last ramps I got (last year), I simply took a whole clump and buried them right next to my front porch in the flower bed. Guess what - this year I had a nice little clump of ramps come up and stay happy. I didn't feast on them yet, not enough, may be in a couple of years. PS. yOU WANT TO TRY SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING, TRY BEE KEEPING. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN OUR RECENT ARTICLE IN THE TIMES RECORD. OUR CLUB MEETS EACH MONTH, ALTERNATELY IN ROANE/CALHOUN COUNTIES.

The ramps I dug up were on a north slope, though, and I planted mine on a north slope on our farm. A nice shady wooded area is best! They like shade.
