Guys, it’s garlic scape season and I’m so excited I just about wet my plants!!!

Once the scapes have been harvest the garlic will be ready in about a month!!!
🧄What are garlic scapes?
A long hard stem with a bulb that grows out of the garlic (hard neck varieties). If left uncut the bulbs will turn into a flower

Cut. Once cut all the energy gets put into growing the bulb that’s underground

Yes! Garlic scapes have the texture of asparagus and taste more mild compared to raw garlic
🧄 How can I eat these?
Garlic scapes are fairly versatile, they can be used in soups/stews, stir fries, made into a butter for garlic bread, infused into salt, almost any way garlic is used
