From the wild forager website here is some information regarding ramps. I use them because I ran out of garlic and they taste a lot like garlic. Their flavor is in between garlic and leeks. Just chop them up and sauté them as if they were an onion. Don’t use too much at once, they [...]
It has been a difficult spring to plant in our outdoor fields. It has been either too cold and now it is too wet.
