Yes, those are ramps! Mine are popping up too.
They are wonderful sauteed, or creamed like you would do with spinach. They freeze well if you blanche then first, too. I also like to make ramp butter, chop them really fine and just mix them in raw with heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a little bit of lemon juice. Mix and mix and mix until all the fat and liquid is separated and you have delicious green butter and buttermilk. The buttermilk is great in biscuits... Damn, I love ramp season.
I've never had them, are they really give-your-baby-to-the-witch good? (Rapunzel)
In my opinion, yes. They're like really garlicky spinach. I spotted them in the woods behind my house when I was taking a second tour trying to decide between this and another place... They were the tipping point.
