Foraging for Ramps (Wild Leeks) Sustainably | Wild Edibles!
It's ramp season here in Minnesota - let's go find some! Ramps are wild leeks and they are SO delicious. A true foraging treat as the season is short and they are nearly impossible to grow in a home garden. Come along with me!
*If you plan to forage on public land, be sure to check in with your local laws around foraging first! It is illegal in some places :(

Wild leeks taste even better in my opinion 😍. I hope you can try them sometime!
Very cool, I had never heard of ramps before. When I lived in Iowa there was some kind of plant that smelled like garlic but I think they said it was actually a kind of onion, but they had a SUPER strong garlic flavor.

I also like the foraging video and thanks for info on dealing with ticks. The little aspects of homesteading that you explain so well
We dig some of them up and propagate them at home. We need to get some more asap for our new property. Tucker will definitely need a bath. Why do they need to roll in the mud?! Haha Beauty harvest! 🌱💚 The ticks are bad this year.

That’s a great idea as long as it’s legal in your area to dig up! Haha, I agree! I don’t know why they insist in doing that 🤪
💚👍right on!! Very nice score!

Harvesting the seeds usually is legal, but it’s usually illegal to dig them up and transplant so be sure to look into your local laws around it first

I haven’t found anything definitive about not digging the whole plant up in Ontario (where I live) so I think I’ll give it a try to replant some in my yard early next spring. Here we usually dig up and use the bulb as well. Selectively of course conserving the patch. I pickle the bulbs and use in salads. So good!!!!
Ahh are there a lot of bear sightings in the area?
