Yup ------ that's the same thing we have here in Wisconsin.
Have been eating them for about 3 weeks now.

The "ramp season" will soon be done.

They dry well and will add great flavor to beans this winter.

Got a big package of seedlings about this time last year from a friend on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation. Planted them in best conditions that I could offer them and they vanished within a couple weeks. All survived to come up this year but only with a single leaf. Next year will be when I should be able to find some bulbs.
