Coming in good. The scapes look like they may start curling soon.

Snip the Scapes off to get bigger Garlics.Also,get the scapes when they are smaller and they are good in salads or for cooking.

Our garlic came up in the heat of March then froze and didnt come back. Argh

Garlic looks good here but scapes haven’t pop up yet.

Our scapes are done. We cut them all off and ate them in omelets and pickled some. they are great

My scapes are still to come.

I read to wait till they curl like a "P".

No scapes yet, but they will get them soon. Lots to do with scapes. Love them pickled, either dill or sweet

Cut my scapes last week. Bottom leaf or two are starting to turn yellow. I usually harvest somewhere around the 4th of July.

I’ll harvest a few weeks later than you…when I return from my gig in SD on the 15th…

I've only ever planted garlic from the grocery store, that started sprouting. It did well sometimes and not so well others.

What varieties do you guys prefer growing?

Where do you get your seeds or cloves to start with?

Do you hold some back to plant?

Filaree Farms. The music variety performs best in this area. I just keep back some of the better bulbs and replant them in the fall. Mulch through the winter. G.

Let it grow, don't harvest it all, let the scapes go to seed , you'll never run out of garlic.

I plant the young plants by my vining plants, cucumbers , melons and squash , along with dill.
Helps keep the borer beetles out.

I bought a bag with several kinds from a farmers market stand. Yes, I keep the bigger ones to plant.

I like to make a pesto out of scapes. Add scapes, walnuts, parmigiana and basil if you have it to blender. Turn on blender and add olive oil slowly to emulsify with dry ingredients. Stir mixture in with hot pasta, we usually use fine spaghetti noodles. Good stuff!
