Week of May 28


This week at the DVG:

  • We pruned the garlic scapes (or pruned off the flower bud) from the hardneck garlic.  The bud should be removed in late May or early June to encourage the bulbs to thicken up.  Scapes make a fabulous addition to a flower bouquet and they are delicious to eat!  They taste just like garlic & can be used exactly like garlic in any recipe.  Several of us are going to try them in pesto and spicy beans.  Try some this week & see what you think. https://cedarcirclefarm.org/tips/entry/garlic-scapes
