Heading into the woods with my "Entrenchment Tool" and 5 gallon pails to seek out the elusive Wild Leek or if from the South, "Ramps" !
.
.
We walked about a 1/4 mile back into the Hard Woods, there is our first patch of Wild Leeks as You can spot them by their leaves and the Green tint ! !
.
.
Slowly I start to loosen the clumps of Leeks so they can be pulled, the dirt around the roots sticks and they are Heavy if you don't take the dirt off !
.
.
.
Leeks, rather small but still delicious ate Raw, in a Sandwich or Soup or Stew of Pickled !
.
.
My Honey filling the 5 gallon pails with Leeks we both are pulling and knocking the dirt off !
.
.
Headed Home with all of our Treasure, there is still a lot of Leeks left as we didn't dig them all !
.
.
Tops and bottoms cut and peeled, brought inside after washing off for final cleaning !
.
.
This is some of what I separated, cleaned and cut from the 2- 5 gallon pails of leeks !
.
.
Here we start the Hot Brine Pack of Leeks and start to can a few of these for later, nice being in our New (Old) House where we can do this !
.
Was a Nice day, almost 65 degrees today !
.
Don't forget, Remember our Vets !

Looks like a profitable day. Glad you guys could get out and are feeling up to it. Love the idea of hunting food.
Tomorrow is my day to make soup. It will be everything from the store.
Sherry & jack Y'all stay safe and try to be good!
