My garlic is producing scapes right now, the curly, pointy, stems that contain the seedhead. These scapes are great for adding garlic to things, but every year I get way too many. I give some away, use some, but the rest end up in the compost pile.
I use them in stir fries, add to eggs, etc. I've read that you can cook them like asparagus, but haven't tried that one yet.
This year I'm making garlic scape pickles. I found the link here . Now if I can find some relatives to try these out on. :) I love garlic, I guess it's not an inherited trait.
