Harvesting the Garlic Scapes

Back in June we went out into the garden with an empty basket... it was time to harvest...

... the garlic scapes!!!

The garlic puts out these curly thingies that, if you let them grow, will turn into garlic flowers and drain the bulb/clove of all its oomph... so better to cut these off...

You have to do it before they do 2 full circles...

We almost left this too long....

And we have a good quantity of garlic this year too!

While Mama's doing that...

The strawberries did beary well this year...

Yum!!!

And the lettuce is bursting!

Seee!!!!

Potatoes are doing well too...

Here's the scape harvest (part of it)... some of the garlic was a bit slower (different type) so we'll have to come back for more scapes later. We could pickle these... or make garlic scape pesto or... so many options.
