 Garlic Scapes Grew some hardneck this year and they are forming nice scapes just about going into their first full circle. Do I harvest them now - do you cook them whole or cut them up - does anyone have any recipes?

Re: Garlic Scapes Hi Westi, I believe they can make a scape pesto and hummus, can also be added to stir fries and soups, they are milder, giving flavour and aroma without the full strength of garlic cloves.

Re: Garlic Scapes Nice texture with a good bite but lacking any garlic flavour - which of course might be the weather again! Made a bed of them and put on some cherry toms, oregano and Olive oil and roasted them until toms burst. Will try again next year as quite like the garlic itself which I am now hoping will bulb up more. (Well that's the plan)  Westi

Re: Garlic Scapes I decided they weren't worth the bother; I found mine both tough and lacking flavour. But I suppose they are a "free" extra if you are growing hardneck garlic. Mind you, this year my hardneck garlic has 1" bulbs and the scapes are covered in rust, so you've done better than me !
