We called them wild leeks where I grew up, edge of the Adirondack mountains, and if you came to school smelling of them you got sent home for the day.

They did smell pretty bad when the kid was sitting next to you.

That's what happened when someone showed up at school where I attended in West Virginia......and, we always referred to them as "Ramps".....and, everyone knew what they were......:mrgreen:

Hahaha...love it.

I didn't get any this year but I love that we have a local thing that we can rally around!

Ramps sure can smell.

It's not too late to enjoy their benefits and a nice place as well. Bring a jacket, just in case!
