DirtTime Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Last Spring, we took several drives trying to locale wild leeks. Notta! Does anyone know of a place where they grow? I have no problem asking for permission to harvest them. I just can't find any batches out this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmelite Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think I have them on my property. I've been told that's what they are. Show up in the spring and smell like onion?? If so I have acres of them. I'm in Cortland county. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackradio Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 l have two spots where I get them year after year, each about a half acre big. Both are right next to swamps in sandy type soil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveboone Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I find them near overgrown farmsteads, frequently on state land, but beware, no removal of plants from state lands. ( I don't pick em) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

left field Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I have a ton but they are buried under 20" of snow. Tonight's forecast - 21 degrees and snow. At this point, it looks like I may not get into my place until June. Edited April 9, 2018 by left field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’m going to miss sitting in the huge patch of them this spring Potato leek soup is outstanding too. Maybe find some more in some spots we’ve been invited to hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have a place near Wolf's Hollow I can pick them. But that's a little over an hour drive now.Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmelite Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 After seeing pictures, my entire 28 acres is covered with leeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
