"I have always liked frogs. I like the looks of frogs, and their outlook, especially the way they get together in wet places on warm nights and sing about sex." - Archie P. Carr, The Windward Road. An Eastern American Toad and a Wood Frog share a moment in passing along a rural Indiana County road on a warm, rainy spring evening. All toads are frogs, but frogs are not toads.
A fragrant plant that is not near as common as it once was. It prefers acidic soil and often grows in very limited clumps where it is found. Does not transplant well and should not be picked or moved.
Some people consider Ramps (wild leeks) to be a spring tonic while others find them a little too strong for their taste, either way they are now growing in many areas of the county. The rule for ramp picking is to pick lightly and always leave more than enough to sustain the planting for future.
