I love the scapes! I make garlic scape pesto from every one. One year I tried growing the softneck kinds, but there were no scapes! Never again! I freeze it and eat it all year long.
I grow far in excess of what I need each year, select the biggest and best bulbs of cloves for seed, and eat the rest.
That pesto looks lovely! I really like it but the rest of my family isn't as fond so I just chop it up and toss it in our meals etc. I've tried dehydrating it but the flavour vanishes.
I'm the only one who eats the pesto here, too. That's ok, more for me. :))
