🌿  Accidental potato sprouts We kept our potatoes from last year in a box of packing paper in our garage. We just noticed that they have sprouted and are ready to be planted again.

🌿 "Leek" of the woods I recently went🍄Morel mushroom hunting with my neighbor, and though we did not find any Morels, we collected a bounty of wild leeks (aka ramps) that grow in the woods by my house. After harvesting from many small patches, we accumulated a bag full of delicious leeks. I try to only harvest plants with at least 1 1/2' wide leaves and more plants in the immediate area. Once you properly identify the plant, it is easy to harvest. Using a shovel, stick, or your hands, carefully dig around the base(bulb) of the plant until it lifts out without snapping. If leeks grow anywhere near you, I would suggest trying to find some before they wither away and go dormant for the rest of the year. They taste similar to a green onion and are delicious raw or cooked.
