First of the season

 Time for asparagus and ramps:

green and fresh



The asparagus isn't wild, the deer usually get those.  But the ramps just grow in the woods.  I usually just take a green leaf from each shoot.  I was informed it's best to leave the bulb in the ground since it takes something like 7 years before they attain a nice sized bulb.  Also, the ground is rocky and the bulbs are hard to pull without breaking.  Especially when bugs are biting :)

Living off the fat of the land !
