Wild Leeks (Ramps): How to Identify and Forage Sustainably & Responsibly this Spring!

[@kelvingravel8699]

Hi Alana excellent video again thanks, it must be very gratifying to go out enjoy your surroundings while foraging for edible plants, glad you're enjoying the spring weather, we do a lot of walking and the woods are full of wild garlic and bluebells, the rape is in full flower and the pollen is really strong, all the hedgerows are also coming into bloom, the different perfumes is beautiful, its a awesome time of year to be outside, take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

Good morning Kelvin! You should be a writer...your lovely and vivid description of where you live makes me want to catch the first red eye flight and visit your village! It sounds simply wonderful there! We are also very fortunate to live in a pretty area too...and it is very nice to wander around the countryside enjoying the beautiful weather! I hope everyone is doing well there and that you have a lovely weekend! 😊🌺

Wow! I would love some of these. I don't know if they grow here, but I'll do some research! It's incredible what Mother Nature provides!

Good morning Billy! Thank you very much...I knew you would appreciate that...we are cut from the same cloth! Take care and have a wonderful day! 😊🌻

Good morning and great video. That's the way to do it. Just take a little bit. But we both know that some people will clean out a whole patch. Another thing you gotta watch out for is snakes and bees. It's time for them to be coming out. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.

Good morning Billy! Thank you very much for your support...I'm like you, I feel like it's always best to think of wild edibles as a treat...far too many people can get greedy and it will be the demise of these lovely plants! I am always on guard for snakes...I am terrified of snakes!! I know they are very beneficial and I like that they just slither around minding their own business but still...I am terrified! 😳😄 I hope you are having some nice weather there to enjoy...take care and have a lovely day! 🌞

Love me some wild leeks! I'm going to find some this week to preserve the leaves in butter and oil to use as garlic bread, on steak, and chicken! 🤤 Hopefully I get some Fiddleheads and Morels!

[@alanacawker-therusticwife]

Good morning Geoff! Oh my gosh...I am coming to your house for supper!! That all sounds so wonderful! Good luck with the fiddlehead and morel foraging!! Take care and have a wonderful day! 😊🌻

[@berniceallison7769]

Can you share the other books you have for the States? Thank you so much.

Looking forward to spring and getting back out to the forest. Another unique recipe I found is ramp truffles. You steep the leaves in cream before adding to chocolate.

If you take a bulb can you replant it somewhere else?

[@alanacawker-therusticwife]

Hi there! Yes, as long as there are roots on the bulb, you can replant it. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a lovely evening! 😊

If you pull them up rather then dig them up the roots stay in the ground and regenerate easier
