HARVESTING SCAPES!

Mid to late June saw our first garlic scapes. Last year, I didn’t realize that trimming the scapes encouraged larger bulb growth. Even though i was able to seed from our own garlic, we did not get the yield that we could have gotten.

This year, we hope to see a better harvest, and last year weren’t too bad. If this year proves successful enough to produce for us, close community AND the store, we’ll be able to treat garlic as a specialty crop in our area.

garlic head,
