No till growers has a good video on scapes from about 2 years ago. They recommend removing the scapes as soon as possible, based on peer reviewed research from Spain (if I’m remembering correctly). Higher bulb yields and allicin content compared to leaving the scapes to grow.
Depends on your goal. If you want garlic and nothing else, then yeah, cut the scapes. But if you just want food in general, scapes aren't bad for variety. It's nice when you can get multiple types of food from a single plant
I removed my scapes this year when the bulb was visible, let's see if they're bigger than last yr, also last yr they all had worms in them. This time I was able to eat them...
Hello, sorry, I still have difficulties in English and I just recently planted a garlic and shallot. What does this mean? Should we cut the peak leaf as soon as it shows or just let it grow?
I swear garlic is like one of the best superfood plants. You can eat almost all parts of it, and it boosts your immune system. Garlic scapes is so good stir fried with some thinly sliced meat and soy sauce.
I just stir fry them with other veggies like asparagus, potato, or eggplant. Just a bit of salt, pepper, herbs, and tomato paste (home-made) to finish the dish.
My SO and his family have a great garden patch & they grow garlic every year but didn’t know about garlic scapes. This year I showed them a couple videos about them so my SO & I harvested them & turned some into pickles, they are so good, we want to make more. And I’m excited to see how big the garlic comes out this year.
I live in a warmer climate, so I harvested my garlic early and so no garlic scapes, but the elephant garlic seemed to like the warmer weather and could've spent more time in the ground but ai harvested them early anyways because I needed the garden bed.
Those scapes are delicious. It has some sweetness. I often cook it by stir frying them with lil bit of my chilly paste (mixture of garlic, onion, chilli & tomato).😊
I cut it when I need it whether its brown or not lol. It just keeps on growing all year round. Then I added more seeds to grow even in the middle of 113 degrees lol.
Me too, i plant the seeds from the scapes if I have a spot and patiently wait til they grow to bulbs. Not sure how long that takes, long enough to forget when they started ,
This is awesome advise! I like to pickle my garlic scapes. Do you have similar advice about onions? This is my first year growing them on my own. All I know is you’re supposed to break the tops towards the end of the season to push more energy in the bulbs I think.
We cut scapes off, but we let them only on few garlics to see when the garlics are ready to harvest. When the scapes are unbend, you know, that all garlics are ready for harvest.
Do you start your garlic in the late fall and overwinter it, or do you start it in the spring? Our garlic harvest was less than impressive this year (size wise), and I can't attribute that solely on when we planted, but I do believe that probably has a pretty significant impact on the size of the bulbs. Am I correct in this assumption?

Again not toom it's thoom
Variety is nice tho, you can have the scapes as alternative source of garlic flavor while waiting for the bulbs to mature

For a quick second I thought Liam Hemsworth was giving us Garlic advice.

This comment is the only reason I went to the comments 😂

Looks like I wasn't the only one 😂
I'm glad he got out of his big brothers shadow... being Thor is a hard act to follow

Recently started growing garlic 🧄. These tips are very helpful. Thank you so much. 😊 🙏
Thanks for the great information !!! ✌️😎✌️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🥰
Thank you for watching !
try tying the garlic in a knot by the base when its almost ready its supposed to help the bulb swell
I've been tied off in a knot by the base and my bulb swelled, too
You think .? I'm goin to try that on some tomorrow
Great information and both verbal and graphic instruction. ❤
Oh the drama! Just tie long garlic leaves into knots, if you don't want seeds and want a bigger garlic in the ground.👍
Garlic scape quiche is awesome too
Thankyou so much ,your the first to say what. To do for harvest that I found again thankk you ....good life 😊
Useful info, thank you.
Love some home grown garlic. I’ll try snipping the scapes next season. Thanks for the great advice!
Thanks for watching!
Don't forget to replant any very small off shoot bulbs. They will grow and give you another big bulb to harvest latter.
Hey enjoy working your own garden and let others to enjoy there own Mr. Know It All.
Pickled scapes are amazing!! So yummy.
Guess I'm watching garlic harvesting videos tonight... I don't even have a garden
Lets goooo!
@@MindandSoil garlic is pretty rad. i had salted garlic greens for the first time recently, changed my life
I'm watching so many garden videos. I don't even have a garden.
You and I both
It's garden envy
I'm thinking of converting my spare room into a hydroponics garden 😂
Guests can get a hotel
Pickle the garlic scapes. They’re delicious used in your favorite pickle recipe.
Yes!! I thought I was the only one that did this ❤❤❤
Gonna try this!
I live in a warmer climate, so I harvested my garlic early and so no garlic scapes, but the elephant garlic seemed to like the warmer weather and could've spent more time in the ground but ai harvested them early anyways because I needed the garden bed.
Learned something today. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)
You are an amazing teacher
Thanks for the advice Ian Hemsworth
haha! No problem! Thanks for watching :)
I was just wondering today when I should pick my garlic, thanks! still have a bag of scapes in my fridge. they're also delicious pickled!!
Thank you for the information 😊😊😊
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Imagine cooking something... You take a bulb of garlic from your garden and then Viola! Fresh garlic... The aroma must be really perfect!
Definitely a great smell! Thanks for watching :)
Those scapes are delicious. It has some sweetness. I often cook it by stir frying them with lil bit of my chilly paste (mixture of garlic, onion, chilli & tomato).😊
I love scapes too! One of my favourite additions to my dishes :) That chilly past sounds awesome!
Sauté garlic scape in sesame oil. Fold in gojuchang paste and dried anchovy.
ThankYou!❤
and of course i get videos on garlic in my feed after talking about garlic with a friend on discord. Why am i not surprised
I like to dehydrate garlic scapes. They make great garlic seasoning.
I like to watch the garlic scapes flower in the bulbs seem to always be big
Thank you. Going to try.
Good luck! Thanks for watching :)
Great information.

I always pickle my excess garlic scapes. Delicious.
I wonder who looked at garlic and was like "mmmm. That looks good"
Never knew garlic grew underground 😮
Really? You've never seen the roots hanging off of the bottom of some at a Farmers market or at a grocery store?

AdviCe is a noun.
AdviSe is a verb.
Which do you need here?
Scapes also make fantastic pesto in place of basil. Next year I’m going to try pickling some.
Oh Yum! Great idea! Thanks for sharing :)
I was the garlic planter, puller and braider. I wish I had known to do these things.
Hey MindAndSoil, just wondering where you’re from in this world so I can get a better understanding of the veggies that work in your area vs mine
muy gracias❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Mmmmmm...garlic scapes...makes great pesto too.
Great thanks.
Garlic scape pickles are also a game changer
Nice garlic❤
They taste so good in scrambled eggs or fried rice too. If you've got a bunch, make japchae!
yum! Great idea :) Thanks for watching!
garlic scapes ... we boil and roast delicious!
Thankyou
For harvesting i usually use pitchforks. We usually remove all but 3 (more if you have lot of it) and we go by when it's ready to flower
That's good looking soil, dude
That garlic scapes looks delicious
Good info 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful ! :) Thanks for watching
Who's got a Hori knife sponsorship?
YOU DO 😂
garlic scapes also make a great pesto sauce
Pickled garlic stapes are also great 👍
Yum! Thanks for watching :)
I love garlic scapes now I'm craving them
Delicious!
We cut scapes off, but we let them only on few garlics to see when the garlics are ready to harvest. When the scapes are unbend, you know, that all garlics are ready for harvest.
Awesome information that made actual sense and wasn't click-baity for another video? Yeah, I'm here for it and I don't even garden
So beautiful
Ty very much
Thanks for watching !
Amazing tips and Arab toum sauce
Scapes pancake would be delicious. Try
WHAT THE DUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY KNIFE? 😂
Home grown garlic is nice. Ours was a bit strong though so we had to adjust recipes.
Why did hori hori sound like a devil fruit or a one piece laugh 🤣😂
Fermented or pickled scapes are delicious aswell
Here on Batam Island during Chinese New Year, they cook garlic leaves
“Welcome your garlic into the world”
*rips garlic out of the world*
Garlic scapes are really good. Saute in butter and you don't even need to add garlic!
You are VERY right about that! Yum! 😋
This guy loves garlic more than anyone.
You are probably right about that! haha! Thanks for watching :)
Hori means dig in Japanese. I wonder if it has the same meaning in other languages or if the hori hori knife is Japanese.
Yes it's Japanese.
my granparents usually pickle their garlic scapes
Yum! Great idea! Thanks for watching :)
Scapes are also really tasty if you ferment them with a brine
Or you can pickle them in sugar, soysauce, and vinegar.
FYI Toum literally just means garlic so you were redundant. You could literally just call it garlic scape sauce.
Or fry them with Scrambled eggs and butter. Delicious. And if your daring add thinly sliced green chillies.
Oh Yum!! Great idea :p
Amazing 👍& tasty. ..
I hope you keep mentioning this like next year when I harvest my first garlic. I enjoy getting the infor also how do I clean it ready for storage? Thx
Garlic scapes are amazing stir fried with cured meat, get it slightly charred for extra sweetness
Yum! One of my garden favs :) Thanks for watching!
May I ask what does elephant garlic tastes like?
What way do plant garlic to have a garden like yours ?
Don’t cut them. Just pull them out. You can pull more of it out and the stem at the base can be eaten raw bc they are sweeter and milder in taste.
Why don’t people eat the leaves? You can also dry them and grind them up as a seasoning or even make stock.
Let's grow!
btw you can just pull the scape instead of cutting it, so there's a lot more for you to eat 😁
But what if I have a vampire infestation in my neighborhood? I’m picking!!
Vampires were actually rabies victims.
Can I grow garlic in my aquaponics setup?
I always thought those scapes were poisonous for some reason...
Great
Thanks for watching :)

I just steal my garlic from the neighbours window
How does your soil stay so loose and porous till harvest time? It hardens after the first watering for me
Stir it with beef(Vietnam style)!
Does one need to wait until the scape "makes a curl" or can it be cut at anytime after it emerges?
