I thought you were talking about leaks and morals. Then I realized I wasn't in the politics section.

The guys in my camp in Delaware County all call them ramps.

Along with the arrival of morels and ramps, Predate should be back. At least I hope so that way I can feel safe eating what I find.
That being said, he didn’t start the 2018 Shroom page until May

Call 'em ramps out here  in SW  New York ( Dogpatch) along the Pennsyltucky border and people will look at you as if you are green and have three eyes....Hehehe....

Leeks & onions with taters and black bread, and a slab of ham with a few eggs. A farm breakfast! I miss that stuff.

I've been told there's an actual difference between leeks and ramps. That ramps are somehow fuller and more robust than leeks. Does anyone have any info on this? Just curious.

[philoshop]

Where do wild scallions fit in? I guess that's what I get off my property. I thought they were leeks but somebody told me they weren't.They are spicy and tasty little buggers, though.

I could do exhaustive research on the internet and find nothing useful. I trust you folks to school me on this if you can.

Deep fried leeks and smelt ...  mmmm mm mm

[turkeyfeathers]

I’m pretty sure they’re leeks around here but could be ramps.  Not positive but I do know whatever they are you don’t want to have a bird gobble when getting into the turkey woods 15 minutes later than you wanted  and plunk down in a huge patch of whatever they are after drinking all night    Then hungover. Rough morning!

[G-Man]

Neighbor has been digging leeks since Feb can smell them a mile.away when he digs them up..

[goosifer]

they are probably ramps

Allium tricoccum (commonly known as ramp, ramps, spring onion, ramson, wild leek, wood leek, and wild garlic)

According to wikipedia, Chicago was named after these.

No ramps/leeks here as of a week ago. I'll be checking my spot next weekend.

I usually begin looking for morels in early-mid May depending on weather. We're looking for that magical soil temperature of 52°.
I like to stay at lower elevations on a southern exposure early on. As season progresses I'll move up in elevation.
If you can't identify a dead/dying elm or ash tree you have a month to figure it out! Also, if youre not crawling through the brush and brambles look elsewhere.

No leeks or morels. I got wild onion all over the place. Really good flavor and tender right now.

OMG- those are just little babies! I'll bet you shoot jakes and forkhorns too,lol

You would think a guy with a handle like Let em Grow would be a little more selective when he takes a leek!

[LET EM GROW]

I guess the same rules apply, The younger the better tasting! 

But.....

You cant imagine how many tears i cried as i culled each one of those little babies "pun intended" LOL!!

I will always post this pic. One is delicious and one is deadly.
That's one pf the reasons I prefer harvesting ramps when they're mature(just like my turkeys). The other reason is because the greens are so yummy!
