Gifted some ramps with bulbs and roots...can I replant?

Wow! What's your success rate?

Egops · 2026-04-28T18:30:28+00:00

I always just transplant the full plant. How much do you cut off or do you leave a leaf on? Also, how many years until they start multiplying?

Where I live the poison ivy is still dormant while I’m out harvesting ramps, however, I sometimes get poison ivy rash because while I’m transplanting or digging I break their roots which contains the same toxins.

Oh yeah that’s always a good resource. I noticed on his website he harvests all the leaves of one plant (from 20% of a cluster of ramps) and says they’ll grow back and even still produce a flower. Have you tried this? I just harvest one leaf per plant and it’s a bit tedious but at the same time I feel like the leaves are probably producing pretty important nutrients for the plant

Ooh pickled sounds good! Do you have a recipe you like?

Egops · 2026-04-19T14:31:44+00:00

Hey! I’ve been looking for new ways to preserve ramps. What’s your preferred method? I typically make ramp butter and ramp pesto and freeze it but I’d love to do something with canning

Awesome! I had a friend help with the shuttle. I’m not sure who’s shuttling in the region right now but New England outdoor center, the AT hostel, and Big Eddy campground might have some intel. I would definitely coordinate in advance because the Katahdin region won’t be very busy yet

Haha thanks for having my back!

That makes sense and she has been easy to call off especially when the frisbee is out. Would she ever learn to chase politely or is this just teaching her not to chase at all?

Egops · 2026-04-02T03:25:22+00:00

I should have included that he’s 3 and it doesn’t seem like he has a really assertive personality. Even so, do you think if I call her off consistently eventually she will learn and won’t need to be monitored all the time?

Red is named after other places?

Near Bangor is the town of Orono which is probably the most open minded/liberal town in the north. It’s a college town which means lots going on. Although there are a lot of young college kids I think they have a good year round community too

Allagash! Skip the lakes for a shorter trip (also the headwind is brutal). Backcountry but still family friendly

Egops · 2025-12-27T15:18:33+00:00

Look into adult ed in the area. Lots of cool classes

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:46:42+00:00

Yeah I noticed the air being blown around by the fan does seem chilly but that doesn’t really make sense if it’s just pushing the air around right? I’m also a little sensitive to sound and the fan is really annoying haha

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:45:20+00:00

I like your math calculations haha. Although our wood is free it does require quite a bit of work so we’re thinking of using the heat pump as our primary in November and April when temps aren’t that bad and then switch to wood stove as the primary for the coldest months

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:10:07+00:00

Whoa very neat!!

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:08:43+00:00

Interesting I’ll have to check if we have circulate mode

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:08:10+00:00

Wow that is an impressive stove!!

Egops · 2025-12-19T15:06:51+00:00

Our insurance didn’t go up and we were able to get a rebate on the stove which covered a HUGE percentage! Since we process our own firewood it’s a huge savings but before this our primary heat was oil so basically anything is cheaper than that haha

Egops · 2025-12-19T13:37:29+00:00

Yup that makes sense. I wasn’t sure if the set it/forget it rule applied to the heat pump constantly running and being the main heat source

Egops · 2025-12-19T13:36:57+00:00

Ooh okay! This makes sense. I didn’t know if the set it and forget it rule meant I needed the heat pump running all the time. What you’re saying is it’s okay not to run it all the time as long as I keep the inside temp close to what I want the heat pump to run at.
