RE: Hardneck Garlic: Scapes, Bulbils & Umbels
Garlic is so resilient. I'm sure it will be great. I grow way too much garlic. I was hoping to make it a side business but we've got to get our soil under control first. Heavy clay everywhere I look!
This year will be an eye opener for me regarding the soil. I know I need to do work but did not get a soil test yet. Our garlic seems to be doing great and we may plant more next year as we have two friends at the market that want to buy it from us. Maybe one day I will be a garlic farmer :) One question.... if you don't mind. How low do you cut the scapes? Thank you so much!
If you slide your hand down the scape there's a point where it will meet the leaves. I cut it close to there. You don't want to cut any leaves off. We have dreams of being garlic farmers - one day!
Thank you so much. I got it now! Maybe we will both be successful garlic farmers one day :)
Maybe! That would be wonderful indeed! :)
