May 30th Garlic Notes:

• Stalks are growing like mad, probably six inches in the last week.
• The stalks are thickening as well, many are well past the 1/2 mark.
• We should see the first garlic scapes starting to sprout any day now.
• The extra thick blanket of mulch we used this season is working better than usual - we never use weed killer on the crop!
• Please check back this week for garlic scape recipes! Two of my favorites: Scape Pesto and Pickled Scapes.
• This year's recipe experiment: Scape 'Sushi' Rolls. A recipe and how-to post will follow if we find success.
