if shade won't come to the ramps...

...then it's high time to move the ramps to the shade..so i did ...i dug up all the second year ramps...put them in individual containers and moved them to the north side of the house where i know they will have shade...i used the acidic leaf humus based soil that was in the beds under the trees to pot them in so they should be fine ...i will be building a bed on that side of the house specifically for the ramps and there they will stay...the ones that have died back above ground are still viable bulbs so i will dig them and hold the in pots until the bed is finished and i can replant them in a more permanent location..the sunny beds they were in will be given over to tomatoes and cucumbers and squash and whatever else comes to hand...there will be no wasted space.
