I don't know. That's why I was thinking they may be ramps because I
know they grow wild in some states, but I've never seen a ramp. Or
seen them for sale anywhere.

Hopefully somebody from the austin.gardening group knows, but it's a
pretty dead group there lately.

They were very strong and somewhat garlicky, yes. I didn't even
consider ramps until somebody posted a picture of them in
alt.food.binaries the other day and I thought that maybe that's what
we have here in TX, too.
