I discovered ramps this winter! I managed to find some seeds. I'm crossing my fingers!
So now its 5 years later haha, how are they?!
I have been looking for wild leeks after seeing The Outsider do a wild leek soup, but I haven’t been able to find them here in western Kentucky yet.
I'm sure they grow in that area, but they are more common in some places than in others. They do like wet hardwood forest floors, near streams, lakes, or marshes most often. I hope you find some!
Do I need to transplant or plant the bulbs in the spring? I am looking to do this but would like to do this in the best time of year.
I have transplanted the plants during the spring, though if you know where the bulbs are, I'm sure you can dig them up and transplant them in the fall.
I found some ramps the other day and pulled some up from the bulb and part of the roots. there were two good sized clusters of them so I only took a few individual plants, but I see the ones you have are clumped. I got mine back home and put them in a somewhat shady spot but the tips are starting to yellow after only a day. Should I have pulled them as a clump rather than individually?
No, individually is better. They do like wet forest settings, so I put mine is an area shaded by my house on the east and a hardwood forest on the west, planted in leaf mulch and under the dripline of the house (there are no gutters on this side) to make sure they had enough moisture. It is best to take only 1-2 plants from a well-established clump because they take a long time to grow to maturity.
What is a hookaculture bed?
How long would you guess they can be out of the ground before needling planting? I was just given a bunch, I think they have been out of the ground for a couple of days. I am gonna go head and plant some of them.
I'm not completely sure, but I would give it a try! I have some more that have been out of the ground a few days that we'll be putting in the ground tomorrow.
Ok thanks. I am gonna give it a try too. Good luck!
Thank you for your video. Which orientation do your eaves face by your house? Does that area get full sun? I am planning on transplanting some in my yard and I'm not sure exactly where to do it.
Ramps naturally grow in wet forests, so you need a wet shady place. The location where i planted these is on the west side of the house, in the drip line of the eves (no gutters at this location). About 20 feet west of the house is a hardwood forest, not very wet, but that's why I planted these in the dripline of the house and in the shade of the forest. These were transplanted 2 years ago (?) And are coming back up again this year.
@@PartTimePermies being that it's west facing, there is probably a significant amount of sun there or does the forest offer a lot of shade for the ramps?
@@SG25 the forest to the west of the house shades this area fairly thoroughly. The trees are probably 90 feet tall and only 20 feet west of this area. This area might see 1 hour of undappled light each day... maybe. The rest of the time the sun is either completely blocked by the house or mostly blocked by the forest.
@@PartTimePermies Thank you so much for your responses. Do you think I could be successful at growing these by providing them shade using shade cloth for example? My yard gets a lot of sun. Or by planting them on the north side of the house maybe?
@@SG25 I would probably try the north side of your house, but you would also have to take steps to keep them moist. I used fallen leaves to mulch mine, since they are naturally forest plants and we have had a very wet past 2 seasons, so they have done fairly well where they could get that roof runoff.
You can fry up the whole plant, not just the bulbs. The green leaves are VERY GOOD for you. My mom & dad's families, all my neighbors, & I have eaten them this way our whole lives. Do not waste the green leaves - just clean the plant, cut off the roots, clean again with water, & then cook them up in some butter/bacon grease & add some salt & slight pepper. WONDERFUL! AFTER PREPARING/CLEANING THE RAMPS, THEN FREEZE THEM IN FREEZER BAG, can them, or pickle them.
We usually don't dig the bulbs (or maybe 1 in 10 if there is a large patch so they keep coming back). We use the leaves in all kinds of dishes. We will have a video on our sister channel soon about how we used the leaves in a pasta dish. We also enjoy ramp kimchi.
I bought seeds from Richter's Herbs; planning to start them indoors this week and then plant the seedlings near a wet area in the wooded part of my boyfriend's property.
Awesome! I've not tried starting them from seed. Let me know how it goes!
Will do! I'm excited to see if we can get some established. It was great that your videos coincidentally came out this spring!
Hey Rebecca! I've just started some seeds myself inside and anxious to see what prevails. Have yours came up at all from the seeds? Thank you!
So did these turn out ?
They are still growing a year later. We are letting them get established, so we are not harvesting yet.
I watched this to find out how to transplant ramps, just a bunch of babbling about other stuff and where she put them last year. 😒
