    I would never harvest public lands, of course, and it's my understanding that places like Spence Farms make a point of leaving some ramps in the ground to reseed for the next year.

    I am intrigued by the possibility of getting some ramp seeds (which, apparently, are available) and planting some in my yard.

    Incidentally, I am going to the RampFest dinner tomorrow, and the idea is that they're using ramps that have been harvested locally. Will report.


    Yes, ramp seeds and also bulbs are available for sale:

    I am going as well. The event is a fund raiser for a group called The Land Connection, which seeks to preserve local farmland for organic farming, train farmers in organic methods, and also match farmers with land. (Full disclosure: I recently became a board member.)

    I have never met anyone from LTH Forum so I hope to see you there.
