I love Pucca, I never saw the cartoon but here in France you can find every kind of objects with Pucca on it: bags, stationery, dolls…
It’s nearly as fashionable as Hello Kitty.
I have a bag with Pucca on it!

Seeds: $4.50 for 50 seeds.

Cultivation of ramps.

I’m guessing you can hothouse the little buggers by seeding them into planters that have been fertilized with bone meal for calcium and are kept warm with heat lamps in a closet/sun window?

I think I’ll give it a try here in florida, growth season here is almost all year long.

They were listed as “Ramps (Gourmet Wild Baby Leeks)” on the sign.

I got what I would expect a “bunch” to be and it was $5. Now I have to decide whether to make the Pucca Noodles or the KissKissBangBang with them! (Or sneak off to get another “bunch” of them!)

Man, we used to gather twenty pounds or more at a time in West Virginia down in the southern mountains for free when I was a kid! And the ones I bought here in Athens last week were something like 1.00 a bunch!

Wow.

I think that is because I read somewhere that ramps are not native west of the Rockies. That they were transplanted there. But I don’t remember where I read that.

They are hard to transplant, like many wild plants.

I’ll have to try the vegetarian version tomorrow night.. with the ramps I found at my co-op here in the Seattle area!

You’re going to choke.. they were $15.99 a pound!
