Garlic Scapes ~ How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways

We've been growing garlic for a few years but it's always been soft neck garlic.
 Last fall we chose several varieties of soft neck and hard neck.  Only the hard neck garlic will produce a scape which means the plant is wanting to go to seed and flower. 
To transfer the energy to the bulb and produce a big healthy head of garlic, you cut off the scape.  What you get is a basket full of delightful squiggly green scapes   
We have added these scapes to virtually all of our meals; breakfast, lunch and dinner.   
It's a lighter hint of garlic and adds a wonderful amount of flavor.  
Try one or two here and there.
