Every blog out there is going to be witting about cooking and eating ramps within the next week. Not me, but I will tell you how to find them. Chances are you've steeped all over them the last time you went for a hike. Here's what I did.
Step #1 Talk to Wendy an Rick from Wendy's mobile market and buy a hand full, just to jog your memory of exactly what your looking for. They have Berkshire pork too, that's a plus if your pockets are deep.
Step #2 Pick out any trail in the Kingston area and go for a hike, chances are once you get out of the parking lot you'll find them. Just look slightly off the trail. They'll be in the same areas you'll find trillium's. They grow in small patches and you'll just see the soft green leaves hanging out over last years leaves. You'll want to take a bag and a knife as well.
Step #3 Plant a bunch in your back yard, roots attached, in a damp shady place just like the one you found them in.
That's my ramp hunting guide. You can check the other 7000 food blogs for what to do with them if you don't already know. Good luck
