My first find was on my river bank.  When I searched for more info, I remember reading 2 things: asparagus likes to keep its feet wet; and there really isn’t any “wild” asparagus.  What we find foragi

Who else is looking forward to spring and fresh ramps? I know mushrooms get the spot light but I enjoy harvesting a few ramps to add to eggs!

Found a couple of stalks of asparagus. Most of my patches are just starting to show.

I have to look up ramps on the interweb to see if I have any to try.  Never had them before.

 

This is one I found that could be very helpful during Duck season. They walk right into your boat! :grin:

I've never understood why ducks are so OK with landing right next to my alumacraft and so weary of coming even close when I'm covered in camo and buried in the reeds.

I live in the cities and tried a couple of springs to find some ramps, nothing. The first time I looked at my parents North of Cambridge, they were all over! Now I try to only harvest enough for myself and a few close friends. Growing up, no one i knew harvested wild edibles. I have never harvested fiddleheads so these  are on my hit list this spring!

Checked my ramp area just for fun on Saturday, good to just be back in the woods. Hopefully in a few weeks we will start to see some ramps!

 

Well I guess better today then Thursday during the Blizzard!  ?

Maybe this will be my year to find some morel mushrooms to! A guy can always dream. Nothing else I am usually able to find enough pheasant back mushrooms for a meal.

I'm thinking the Morels may be a little late this year with the cold and late snows we had.

One thing that I have yet to find is wild asparagus. Any tips where to look for them? Low lands?

And like @minky stated, you start seeing stands along the road in wet field areas here and there when you know what to look for.  It grows pretty tall and leaves the dried stalks looking almost like a tumble weed in the spring.  Not quite as heavy or round but I can’t think of a better way to describe it.  

 

Cut it when it’s short cuz it gets woody after a foot tall or so, and like anything else, don’t take it all or you won’t have any left to come back to.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
