Leeks / ramps

I completely forgot to cook the ramps for Easter dinner yesterday.  Tonight I sautéed them in olive oil and salt and pepper.   When they were almost done, I added 1/4 cup of water, covered the pan and steamed them until very soft.  Delicious!  They cooked down to almost nothing, so next time I will make a bigger batch.

They look ready now.  If they get too big the leaves get stringy and the bulbs lose their flavor.  JMO.     This is the earliest I have harvested any, usually get my first batch on opening day of turkey and pick for 2 weeks or so after that.

Flesh, yes in Camillus.  See your Messages.  

Yes, I agree, they are a bit early.  This past week and next week put the skids on an “early spring”.

So my question for those who might know . . . Can you transplant them to a new spot? Anyone ever tried? Would think with the right soil conditions (leaf litter) the ends might take if planted correctly? My understanding is the seeds are unpredictable and leeks take a very long time to produce. Anyone?
