Woodsman Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 With the generally dry spring we have had in southwestern Ontario were the wild leeks early or later this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I took a leak off the deck at the cabin. Does that count? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty55 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'd say a little behind this year. Mine are up maybe 10" or so. I've just been munching on stems so far, they're so mild when the plant is young. Fiddleheads however seem to be still dormant, I checked today in a sunnier spot and nothing started yet. Here's some pics from a few days back, one right beside the house and the other on a hill behind the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 As I'm south of you maybe I should start checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard wild leeks called ramps. But could be the same thing. They are like a green onion bulb with a garlic flavour. Flatter leaves.
