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.
Where can I buy ramps? When I lived in Beckley, West Virginia, I used to get them from sellers along the road close to my house. Do you know anyone who I sells them who I can get it no touch with? I will drive over if he/she has ramps I can buy.
I miss the actual ramps, Bucky. I can buy elsewhere but it’s not the same!
I know. The shipping issues in 2020 were abysmal, and they really haven’t gotten much better. :/
