Melissa, I wrote a blog post on ramps (with links to other ramp posts) and you can read it here:

We have planted ramps in a few spots of our woods and near our stream bed. We are seeing the ramp shoots popping up out of the ground this week so I am very encouraged to know that we might be able to provide the natural environment they need.
There are some festivals in WV during the ramp-harvest season and maybe you'll have a chance to go!
Hi,
I'm new to Homegrown.org and this group. Can't wait to meet you all. We live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and my favorite foraging is for berries!
An unusually warm winter has kept a few wild edible greens around for an extra while. I was walking in a fallow field and saw some common winter cress (Barbarea vulgaris). They have a warm, mustardy flavor. This got me thinking ahead to spring for creesy greens, a look-a-like edible that grows like crazy in spring. Happy foraging!
