Last Call for Ramp Bulbs: They’re Greening Up – Plant Now for That Instant Spring Patch

March 21, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Hello everyone,

Spring is in full swing here in the West Virginia mountains, and the ramps are really starting to wake up! The latest batch of bulbs I’ve dug are showing just a little bit of green at the tips already. They’re breaking dormancy and ready to go right into the ground.

This is your last call to grab some before they’re gone for the season. If you plant them immediately (while the soil is still cool and moist), they’ll take off quickly. Those green shoots will push up in just a week or two, giving you an almost “instant” patch of fresh ramp greens to enjoy and watch expand. Now is the perfect time. The plants establish strong roots now, leaves emerge soon for that early spring magic, and over time they’ll seed and spread into a bigger, self sustaining colony for future harvests.

Don’t wait, these are the freshest ones left, and once they’re shipped or planted, ramp season wraps up until next year. Whether you’re boosting an existing spot, starting fresh in a shady wooded area, or just wanting to get in on the action, now’s the time.

Head over and snag yours before it’s too late: Buy Ramp Bulbs

Thanks for all the support this spring! It’s been amazing seeing so many of you building your own ramp patches. I love seeing the photos you send me! Wishing you green shoots, tasty harvests down the line, and plenty of warm days ahead.

Spring Ramp Rush Continues: Second Batch of Fresh Bulbs Dug & Ready to Ship from WV

March 14, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Hello everyone,

Hope this finds you enjoying these first beautiful days of (almost) spring! Thanks so much for the amazing response to last week’s email. I’m thrilled to say that all of the first week’s ramp bulb orders have shipped out already. You folks are quick, and I appreciate the enthusiasm!

The mountains here in West Virginia are really waking up now. With the last bits of snow gone and the ground thawing nicely, I headed back up and dug a second fresh batch of ramp bulbs. These are just as healthy and ready to go—packed and waiting for your orders. Some of these bulbs already have small green shoots on them.

Spring really is the best time to get your ramp bulbs in the ground. Planted now (while the soil is cool and moist), they’ll settle right in and break dormancy quickly. Many folks see those first green shoots popping up in just a week or two—giving you an almost “instant” patch of ramps to watch grow! It’s like jump-starting your own little colony. The plants establish strong roots this season, leaves emerge soon for that early green magic, and over the coming years they’ll seed, spread, and multiply into a thriving, sustainable harvest spot. Whether you’re adding to an existing patch, starting fresh in a shady wooded spot, or just dreaming of future ramp feasts, now’s your window before they go dormant again.

Grab yours before this batch goes fast too: Buy Ramp Bulbs

(Quick note: My daughter’s Etsy shop is still buzzing with those custom wood burnings if you’re looking for a unique gift or something special—pets, quotes, scenery, you name it. Check it out here: Quad D Creations on Etsy)

Thanks again for the support, and here’s to warmer days, fresh green shoots, and good ramp patches ahead.

Spring Has Sprung: Fresh Ramp Bulbs Ready to Ship from the WV Mountains

March 5, 2026 / / 3 Comments

Hello everyone,

It feels like it’s been an extremely long time since I last emailed you all—I hope you’re doing well and staying warm!

What a long, brutal winter it’s been this year. Those cold snaps were some of the coldest and longest I’ve seen in years. I’m definitely not a winter fan, and I can’t wait to put this one behind us and jump straight into spring.

The ice and snow have finally melted (mostly) off the mountains here in West Virginia. That means I can head back up there and dig some ramp bulbs for you. I managed to get a nice batch—they’re fresh, healthy, and ready to ship right away.

Now is the perfect time to plant ramp bulbs! They’ll settle in quickly during the cool spring weather and often show green shoots within a few weeks as they start establishing. You can harvest them this spring, or let them grow for a few years and watch them seed and spread. It’s an ideal time for adding to an existing patch, starting a new patch that will spread over the years, or just getting your own little ramp colony going. Whatever your plan, I’ve got bulbs ready for you.

I also want to give a shout-out to my daughter’s Etsy shop. She spent the winter creating several new wood burnings, plus some other fun pieces. If you have a minute, please take a look—you might spot something you love. She does custom wood burnings too (pets, family names, quotes, you name it). She’s a really talented artist!

Thanks for reading, and I hope spring brings you all some warmer days and good foraging.

Hi everyone. I hope you have all enjoyed your summer and spent a lot of time with family and friends. The cold weather will return the mountains before we know it.

Just a quick note to let you know that I currently have a very limited amount of ramp bulbs for sale. If you want to get them planted now, they will pop up ready for you to harvest mid to late March of next year. I will keep the order page up until I sell out and will hopefully be able to restock again.

Spring Ramp Bulbs 2025 #2

March 24, 2025 / / 1 Comment

This is your final opportunity to get ramp bulbs this spring. The harsh winter weather created a very limited timeframe for harvesting in the woods. Thankfully, I was able to gather several more this past weekend, but many are already sprouting. Some have green tips, while others have developed two small leaves. If you’re planning to plant ramps this spring, now is your last chance to secure them from me.

Spring Ramp Bulbs 2025

Now is the time to plant your spring ramp bulbs if you want Instant Ramps!

While we have certainly had a rough winter here in the mountains, and it stopped me from getting into the woods to get ramp bulbs, it certainly hasn’t stopped the ramps from doing their thing. There are still patches of snow in the higher elevations, but bulbs can be found and some of them already have a tiny bit of green on tip meaning Spring is right around the corner. If you want some ramps and plant bulbs now, they should have green leaves for you within a couple of weeks.
