Ramps (Allium tricoccum), Wild Leeks Ramsons,

Ramps (Allium tricoccum) Wild Leeks are onion-like plants that grow in the woods. The smooth, elliptical-shaped leaves come up in the spring, making them very easy to spot in a forest. They are easily distinguished due to their scent; both the leaves and bulbs smell like onions. Tiny black seeds, occasionally six months to germination, typically 18 months to germination. Fall planting is recommended, but spring or summer is okay if the soil remains damp. Europeans have recognized its healing properties for centuries, where it is valued for its ability to cleanse the blood of impurities. Leaves and flowers may be eaten raw (salads) or cooked (in addition to soups, sauces, or stews). Bulbs can also be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves are edible; they can be used as salad, herb, boiled as a vegetable, in soup, or as an ingredient for a sauce as a substitute for pesto in place of basil. The stems are preserved by salting and eaten as a salad in Russia.

The plant thrives in zones 4 to 9 and prefers moist and slightly acid soils. Ramps require two months of cold stratification to break seed dormancy. It tricks seeds into thinking that winter is over and it is time to germinate. You would want to use sandy/well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix. Put the soil in a small pot, water it, and let it drain. Sow your seeds on the soil's surface, sprinkle a light layer over the seeds, and then cover with plastic wrap. Place the pot in the refrigerator or outside during the winter and keep it cold for at least 60 days. Keep soil moist, but do not soak wet during this process. At the end of the cold stratification time, place the pot in a warm/sunny location with plastic wrap on it. Once seeds germinate, remove plastic wrap.
