Transplanting ramps / leeks

[minky]

I had always wondered if you could transplant ramps? Maybe 3 years ago I transplanted 6 or 7 plants to the edge of my yard. Turns out you can, I checked on them today and I have 7 healthy plants! I also moved another 4 plants to the same area from another patch. First 2 pics are of plants 3 years and last one is a pic I transplanted today.

There was a lady collecting some on our walk with the dog a couple days ago. I was wondering what she was harvesting. Leeks it was.

She had a couple healthy bags worth.

I think a person has to be careful of over harvest as the ramps / leeks are slow growing. I try to selectively harvest.

Not sure how it was for everybody else, but last year there was a bumper crop of ramps.  Thousands and thousands.

That's alot! I didn't have that many in my patches but yes, last year there were alot.
