Good morning all 
i keep telling myself i will grow less, but then there are so many new to me varieties that i just gotta try
then there's all the neat crosses too
also...
i've got garlic scapes 
the wife thinks they are delicious, and was eating some while out in the yard
i think they would go good diced up like chives and added to a salad or on top of a bowl of soup, but just chewing on it by itself was a bit much for me
might also be good dehydrated, then crushed and added to dip or something
how do you prefer to use your garlic scapes ?
hope everyone has a fantastic Friday
S.M.I.L.E.
and be excellent to each other

I love it!!! Your scapes are just gorgeous. I'm afraid I am like your wife, eating a few right off the stalk though some get to be a bit hot! We usually cut them into inch sized pieces and freeze them for adding to the winter soups. I suppose you could dehydrate them for dips, etc. but we do that to the regular cloves of garlic. Sometimes the scapes can be really hot . . . and delicious
.
I just cut my last-formed scapes this AM so I'm planning on digging them up in about 2 weeks. I look for the bottom half of the plant to be dead before I dig one up to check. I dug up some of last spring's overwinter elephant garlic that was close to being ready. If you planted any of these, look for the 'babies' attached to the head of the garlic. If you plant them, it will be about 2 years for maturity.

Good morning, everyone! Late morning as it's supposed to be high 90 temps again.
Nice to see GIP has scapes on his garlic.
Hope your day is filled with lots of love and joy. Share the fun and be good to each other.

Good morning everyone. The weekend is here with lots of planned projects. We are waiting for Mother Nature to send us moisture and quell some of the horrendous wildfires in the state.
Have a wonderful day and pay it forward with a cup of coffee and a sandwich.
