scapes question

I don't know where you are; my small patch of hardneck garlic hasn't put up scapes yet, but expect them soon.

Sounds a little (not a lot) soon; I'd wait a bit. Perhaps the plants were stressed for some reason. I know a fellow who gets his carrots to bloom for seed by letting not watering- in the Nevada high desert, where the only water they get is what he supplies- then starting water to trigger their "Ohmigod, I'm going to die! Better start the next generation NOW!"

yum! i pulled some green garlic the other day and just ate it right there.

it can vary. mine are just starting to get scapes, so it will be a few weeks to a month yet here and since i do let the scapes grow and get bulbules on them i leave them a bit longer than

i'll have to stop watering them in a few weeks.

so far this year has been about the opposite of the past several years. which is ok but different for sure. a lot of sunshine, things are growin'... :)

Huh. This years scapez are very woody. Like a garlic flavored toothpick. Will they still cook up?
