Wild leeks, Ramps or Allium tricoccum

[adey73]

Ok my American chums, you're all ready to start celebrating our family breakdown when you left the nest, upset your mother and trashed your bedroom. We forgive you.

So instead of paying all that back income tax you owe HM Treasury, could someone give me an idea of where I can get hold of some of your Wild leeks/Ramps/Allium tricoccum bulbs that could be posted to UK? (anyone got a site that will post international?)

think of it as reparations

As someone who celebrates July 1 not July 4, I feel like I never really moved out and I can still have my old room back if I want.

Are you looking for bulbs to plant for next year?

The only online place for leeks that I know of is Earthy Delights.

Ramps are hard to come by here - you pretty much need to forage, or place an order with someone who does.

thanks Peter, I've just mailed them.

I wouldn't bother wanting your small room back, it's still rubbish round here.

Why not just harvest some wild garlic/Ramsons?

Grows all over the UK (and Europe), saw huge amounts of it in the Lakes.

Yeah love Wild garlic, but thought Ramps were different enough to be significant.

I'm sure they are not identical, but they are similar enough that the American plant was named after the British plant.

great knowledge, thanks. (and love your blog)
