RE: It's Garlic Harvest Time in the Food Forest!

in #gardening5 years ago

Our favorite variety is shandong garlic. This is what you see in the photos. I did not take pictures of Music garlic. I have been told we should be growing softneck variety of garlic in our climate, but we love garlic scapes, so we grow the hardneck varieties instead.

I love the way garlic scape smells after it is cut. It reminds me of my mom's kitchen. Makes me homesick. I have never use scape to make pesto. Have you already done a post in the past? Do you mind sharing the link to that post if you have already shared it before? Would love to try that next year when I have garlic scapes again.

That's the thing about the net, people are at different times, in addition to far away. I am always reminded about spruce tips by @walkerland long after mine are gone...

Wow, that garlic scape pesto looks great! Thanks for sharing it with me.

It is wonderful and the best part is I freeze it and use it medicinally during the winter for when I get sick. Plus I snack on it any time. :))
