The scream I scram when I saw this... (lemmynsfw.com)

...until recently, ramps (Allium tricoccum) have been a fairytale. I went to Vermont for a trip and my friend showed me her ramps field, although it was summer and they'd all died back to flowers. Well, hiking in an undisclosed location in east Tennessee today, I saw this. I rubbed my fingers on it and... YEP, RAMPS. Further down the trail it got completely boombastic with them. This is a random trailhead off a main road, so I suspect I've got a good chance of snagging a respectable harvest next season. So exciting.

Yep, called wild leek or wild garlic. Insanely caught after because of its flavor.

I remember a friend losing her shit over finding a bunch a while back. I haven't tried it myself though.

I was a little starstruck... their reputation precedes them. I'll probably make a trail-appropriate muted yell when I find them in season.
