Come by Kitchen Conservatory and pick up FREE garlic scapes. We clip off the scapes (flower stem) so that the garlic bulb will grow bigger. Cooks like to chop up the scapes to add to stir-fries and pestos for a mild garlic flavor.
Scapes are a sign that fresh garlic will soon be ready to harvest, probably in mid-June. Our juicy home-grown hard-neck garlic will change your mind about using garlic as a vegetable, not just as a flavoring.
Sign up for a cooking class on using fresh garlic on Thursday, July 30 at 6 pm: “Dracula, Beware!”
Here is today’s view of our garlic crop; one month before harvest!
