    You’re going have to educate me on ramps, were to look and how to cook. I would think some would grow local around my area.

    Are you guys talking about Spring Onions? My uncles place on the water (middle river) used to be loaded with them. Pretty sure he had planted them.

    mike and md crappie,,, ramps as most anything else taste great fried in a lil bacon grease with some potatoes cut up in there with em and the best thing to know is that when you cook them with anything or fry them it does take a little bit of the bite out of them and the strong breath smell lol. I will put them in anything but great in scrambled eggs baked beans I have even cut them up on hotdogs kinda anything that you would add a onion to you can put a ramp in or on lol

    and they are kinda elusive mike them crazy things won't grow anywhere I remember trying to plant them years ago and they never took but when you stumble across one just pick your head up and you will see a thousand they just grow in patches guess kinda like mushrooms there are several places here around the house tht they grow like crazy . usually from late april and may they start and whennthey are small taste the best byut if you wanna dry some to use later or you can freeze them the later in the season the bigger they egt I have got them as big as my thumb but whow they are strong then lol.
    .
    about the only direction that I can get on finding them is all of them here grow around a stream but not right beside it always up the hill from them and a lot of times it seems the steeper the better lol.

    but if you get up around this way sometime in the spring let me know and I will be sure to get you on some of them for sure they a lot easier to track down then the crappie lol.

    Thanks for the invite and info Scott. Everything goes good with bacon. I'm on the last of my dried morels so I can't wait to stock back up on them also.

    Thanks for the info Scott - I used google to see the terms and some sites had them being the same thing. The ones in my uncles yard looked like the google images I found. His yard was full of all kinda of plants and the soil was kinda like a 60-40 mix of soil and sand. The plants seemed to grow quick and they were very easy to pick when ready. Everything just pulled out of the soil with a thumb and 2 fingers w/o much effort at all. His yard has changed over the past 40 years and it's all grass now, but I can envision lots of places like you describe along the banks of the gunpowder rivers all thru Baltimore and Harford counties.
