Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Seems I have a question already......

 

Hey Carolyn and Maria,
Ramps are wild leeks, not wild onions, and actually have above ground parts that look more like leaves, whereas the wild garlic has a chive like top.

Wild garlic has round leaves that are hollow, wild onions are similar in size to chives and wild garlic, but their leaves are round and solid. Ramps (leeks), Onions, Garlic are all members of the allium family.
