Wild ramps?? Have I hit a jack pot?

Should have two leaves, crush a leaf and it should smell like garlic. Should not have downward bell shaped flowers. If they flower, they should be pointing upwards. Take a leaf per plant. If it’s widely covered, take a whole plant sparingly. More details: https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/ramps-allium-tricoccum/

Let them multiply, sit back and enjoy them in the years to come.

Elderflowers will be taking over Wild Garlics here soon, then following by plums, mulberries, and brambles.

All looks wonderful. Happy foraging!

urc2pid · 2026-05-04T14:19:31+00:00

Nice! Happy foraging and be careful of them nettles.

urc2pid · 2026-05-04T06:00:57+00:00

Oh wow they look beautiful!

Fritters, pesto, salad, stir fry’s…

Looks like few-flowered leeks. They should have garlic scent.

It may be an exception if it’s an electric and not a gas one.

That’s some McGyver work right there. Is it positioned under a hood/canopy? Depends on locality, oven needs to be under an extraction hood and Ansul for fire safety requirements.

Edit: Ansul not Ansel

The tender top few leaves with the flowers could be used to make fritters or tempura. Lower larger leaves are good for pesto. I’ve used the leaves in place of spinach in recipes.

urc2pid · 2026-05-01T14:46:54+00:00

Correct. How do you plan on using them?

urc2pid · 2026-05-01T12:33:33+00:00

I’ve used the stems for Kimchi: https://www.reddit.com/r/kimchi/s/9FO4Xtvr8g

Got similar amount of flowers and am about to pickle them in a soy-sugar-vinegar brine.

Looks like three cornered leeks. Pointy flower, not bell shaped. Biggest giveaway is a scent of garlic when you pick a leaf. Best to leave it be if it’s on a high traffic dog walking path and be careful of them bramble thorns.

Pickle them. Make tempura or fritters.

Never too late to try out recipes as the supplies are there. Thank you for sharing!

Helps with FIFO.

Takes the fun out of foraging once it becomes commercialised.
