30 March 2020 Ramps!

 Ramps are a wild edible.  For years, they seemed to be everywhere near our home in Pennsylvania, but not at our property.  That all changed last spring when we finally found a stand.  I was patiently waiting for spring to harvest a few and try them in a dish.  Then COVID hit with an order to not travel to PA without a double quarantine (OH and PA).  That visit won't be happening.  Instead we are spending non-work time alone together in Ohio parks.  This evening we visited Metzenbaum Park in Geauga.  We've known this park had plentiful ramps for years, but this year's growth was nearly a carpet.  They can't be picked in the park, but they are tantalizing to see.  The plants also leave a faint odor of garlic and onions in the air.
