RE: It's Garlic Harvest Time in the Food Forest!
You plant a month earlier than I do and harvest a month earlier. My scapes have just started here, so I'll be making pesto in the next week. Harvest is mid to late July here in Mass.
What variety is that? Mine is German Extra Hardy, cause I LOVE scape pesto. :))
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.
I have done a post:

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. :))
I need to go look up when my harvest time is!! I've got garlic, scallions, elephant garlic and leeks... Lots of Alina but I'm still definitely learning, I missed harvesting last year's and that's part of why I have so many!! 🤪
