In reply to Billy. Yeah! I feel bad about that. I didn't realize I hadn't come back to that topic until the video had been published. I leave one because when it stands up straight and begins to flower that is a good indication that it is time to harvest the rest of your garlic.

Why do you leave one scape uncut. Never told us in the video

In reply to Kathryn. I'm afraid you are just too late. I don't know of a way to use them once they are at that stage. There's always next year!!

I left the scapes on too long and they’ve straightened out, but they haven’t flowered yet. What’s the best way to use them? I know they’ve started to get tough and woody but I don’t want to waste them.

In reply to JD. JD, No scapes are just the flower stalk for a garlic plant. Normally garlic is grown by planting cloves in the fall, although you can also plant by seed, but that is a very long process.

In reply to Maryanna Mueller. We usually cut it out, but I don't think there is a reason not to.

Do you eat the flower head?
