+ add your ownInteresting but be sure to check and see if what you are harvesting is scare in a particular area.
There are some things that are like dandelions as they will always be around and in some areas wild leeks and other things are on a list of things to avoid because they have been harvested a bit too often depending on where one lives.
Thanks for the info.
Sounds yummy!
have never heard of them before, thanks for sharing this
THANKS NOW I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!
I have been wondering what they are as a resturant (fancy one) offerred them to us just last weeThanks for the post.
Here in Michigan they are 'rampant'(sorry). We had them in our salad last week and will be getting some more this week. Taking one or two plants from a huge clump is a responsible way to harvest them.
If the plants are rare or indangered how come are these people not taking the plants as starts and growing them in their garden or yard? Harvesting plants like that is very simular to hunting wild or indangered animals. his small bag of dinner could be transplanted and harvested at home with less chance of endangering the spieces. Sure it may take several years to establish to the point of harvest but that would be much better.
Also called wild leeks. You can grow them.
Here is another who has not heard of them, guess I wll need to goggle them.
