Vestiges of Last Year's Garden

There are a few plants from last year's garden that overwintered and are beginning to grow again. We have kale, choi, parsley and onions. These are all biennial so will be harvested this season before they go to seed.

One pleasant surprise was to see the ramps that I purchased from the co-op last spring reappear. The tops withered and died soon after I brought them home and planted them last year, so it is good to see that several survived. Ramps are a native wild leek with a taste somewhere between onion and garlic. Here is an article with more information on their cultivation: https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/ncnu02/v5-449.html
