Farmer’s market’s, city markets, rural stands.

@LnzyHou @Lucky188 Cool! We have several weekly farmer’s markets here locally and I will see what I can find!

Very short season!

@cassandra17lina IN gardeners tummy's is where they are going 😉
They are the garlic stem that comes up to flower and go to seed. Cutting them off gives more energy to growing a bigger bulb. Good soil and plant in the fall before 1st frost, here it gets cold in the winter so I cover them with straw. then just water them when it doesn't rain in the spring. Easy to grow and they will self seed if you don't pick the scapes. (Bigger cloves planted with give bigger bulbs at harvest)

Yummy my tummy too!

@cassandra17lina Garlic Scape Pesto 😋 @Lucky188

@Tarnagh its been about 3 months since spring thaw when mine popped up. When they grow them varies some by region, yours maybe a few weeks or month more from the pic. Only hard neck grow flower stem that are scapes.

@Lucky188

So if it isn't a hard neck variety of garlic it won't grow scapes?

Is there a way to tell if it's hard neck or not?

@Tarnagh Its the variety planted. When you break the cloves off a bulb to plant the hard neck leaves you with a dried stem in the center, soft neck don't have that. If you bought loose cloves to plant check the variety to see. Most grocery store garlic seems to be hardneck. (Some will plant that)

@tyghebright I have a client in ME that talks about fiddle heads. I've never had them or seen them here. We do have ferns here but not fiddlehead ferns.
