A lot of the last batch of ramps we collected were going to seed (no leaves), We cut off the tops with a bit of the bulb and stuck them into the ground, so far after about two weeks they look good, the flowers have not wilted. I'm wondering if the seeds will develop and be viable. It will be interesting to see if they will develop roots or not. Have you ever planted the tops?

I will try different amounts to see what works in a test plot. Will be picking more up north (Michigan) later this week. Thanks, you are leaving a fair amount of the bulb on the root.

I'm planting Ramps on my property and eating and freezing a lot that we pick. If the root will grow I will plant them, we are traveling 4 hours to pick them and want to establish a local patch.

Must be a local thing. I didn't know wild leeks were called "ramps". But, in my part of TX we call a toboggan the knit cap you wear on your head when it's cold. Words are interesting aren't they? :lol: When I read the title, I thought what kinda of crazy to have to go hunting ramps that people use to enter their house when in a wheelchair.

I am 32 now and my Uncle Jennings and Great Grandma have left us so it was bitter sweet remembering, Thank you for the post, I am glad I remembered!!! Dana Hi Suzanne,
