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 !
