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.
