Almost Garlic Scape Picking Time

Our garlic garden is doing well with over 600 garlic bulbs.  Since most of them are of the hard-neck variety, they will produce scapes.  Scapes are the garlic flower that grows from the center of the bulb.  It is basically green garlic.

The scapes must be cut if you want large bulbs so the growth energy of the garlic goes into the bulb, not to the flower.

The scape is the piece that is curling

Picked one to see the progress, scape is visible, bulbs are still smallsh

Will post more picture of the scapes as I pick them
