Here's a few starts in a 4-inch pot:

Re: Ramps
I have seeds, just getting ready to stratify them. A couple at the farmers market asked if I'd try growing them some starts. Any tips?

I'm feeding them a formula usually sold for hydroponics: 15-5-15 "Cal-Mag", plus a sulfur compound to lower the pH.

Re: Ramps
Very nice, worth a try. Another Allium worth growing is Allium Cepa var.
viviparum. It produces little onions on top of the plant. These onions are about half an inch and you can eat or propagate them. Also known as "three onion" or "Egyptian onion." It is very hardy and one of the first plants that grows in spring. In fact, any part of the plant is edible. Ron... Last edited by the flying dutchman : 04-08-2011 at 02:07 PM. |
