Thank Goodness for Blanching!! Had a few tequila worm floaters!!

FYI-- each mature scape seed pod/ holds about 20 seedlings seeds

the scapes i leave out to dry once the seed heads are ready/ dry them ( i just put them i a warm dry place, first or leave outside ) and I just keep both in my basement/ wine cellar-- it will last all year. The scape seeds I will plant in the fall/ u can also plant cloves of garlic ( the fall ) PS--I can send some seeds if u wish ( when ready ). This garlic is so good/ doesn't get acrid in taste. If u even plant 10 seeds in a small plot..u will get garlic Cheers Doc B

Yeah I dont need to have them grow.. like that. @Okanagancook I'll probably cut a few off/ allowing the bulbs to get bigger. But the scape is the seed pod to next yrs crop. for me. I have plenty of garlic for a yr, usually.
