How about a wild leek report?

[Woodsman]

With the generally dry spring we have had in southwestern Ontario were the wild leeks early or later this year?

I took a leak off the deck at the cabin.

Does that count?

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.

As I'm south of you maybe I should start checking it out.

Wild leak...just confirming this is the same as a ramp right?

my good buddy harvested an absolute pile of em yesterday. So jealous, he even offered to drop me some off but I’m not at home right now.

 

pickled ramps are one of the most delicious vegetables I’ve ever eaten...mmmm

Heading to the wood lot today to see what I can find.  Stay tuned

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.

It was a new name to me too, but the same thing.

Definitely talking about the same thing then...mmmmmm
