Garlic, and FOMO

 The FOMO is on the garlic's part.

I noticed some little scapes here

and thought I was getting a message

So I separated out the unsprouted segments, peeled and froze them, pausing to admire the silver beauty of the skins

Then planted the sprouting ones in their new home. They're now installed next to the ginger.

Go scapes!

    1. I expect I'll get scapes, those long green stems you can use as a vegetable. But we'll see.

  2. I've never thought of planting the sprouted ones, I just chop them up and use them. but maybe next time. it might be fun to grow my own garlic.

    1. I imagine you could have a bed of them. Plenty of outdoor space.

  3. Hmmm - we've planted garlic many times and always in the fall and leave it in the ground (well mulched) over winter. Will be interested to know if you get scapes from these because if you do I know Resident Chef will want to try it.

  4. I'm really curious too! We do as Magpie's Mumbling does, so this is a new adventure to watch. :-)
