Is it a certain kind of garlic? Or just like any old thing, throw it in some dirt, and care for it?
You can also just peel garlic cloves and stick them in water and they'll have several inch long sprouts in less than a week. They won't regrow though if you're just leaving them in water but it's fun to watch because they sprout super fast.
Hell yeah gonna try that since I have some plants going anyways
Eh, apparently you're not really supposed to do it because it can spread plant disease, but yes.
Had a hot sauce once someone made with scapes and a few things they scrounged up in their garden. One time only. Best sauce I ever had.
I am so fucking sad I can't have it again lmao. It was so unique, impossible to recreate
so they're like... green onions but garlic? I gotta get my hands on some of these
Important thing about scapes as well! At least where I am a giant fucking bundle costs like $3 and even if used voraciously its a very efficient product and its usually more than you can use before it goes off. It freezes okay and dehydrates real nice and then you can just pop it in a dry spice jar to sprinkle garlic flavor on stuff
there are pesto recipes that are basically just garlic scapes + blender
Garlic scapes absolutely slap. So good. You can chop it up real fine and sprinkling on buttered toast for quick garlic bread
