I suppose I shouldn’t have been too surprised considering the unusually warm weekend we just had, but I did get quite excited when I noticed that some of my favourite ramp patches had already begun to flourish.
Even my small experiments with transplanting them to the creek in our yard had burst from the earth that had been frozen solid just a few weeks earlier. I think the ramps I planted up in Tobermory (at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula) are coming out to play too.
I’ve already chopped up a few shoots and served them on a couple of poached eggs. Compared to their flavour later in their short season, the new shoots are incredibly sweet.
Having written extensively about ramps previously, I’ll refer you to the two links below.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll share a few of the other ramp recipes I have been playing around with.
