It's time to give the garlic a hair cut! Every year around this time the garlic, which we planted in the fall, sends up a seed head called a scape. If you want nice big garlic bulbs then you need to cut the scapes off so the plant puts energy into the bulbs and not into producing seeds.
Looks like I have a handful of grass snakes!
And here's the garlic with its new hair style - no curls!
You can use the garlic scapes in cooking. Just chop them up like you would a scallion and stir fry or use in soups for a fresh garlicky flavour.
They will be great sauteed with these shitake shrooms. YUM!
