As much as I love the beautiful flowers that pop out of my elephant garlic, I have recently learned that the scapes they grow on taste DELICIOUS! So, I've decided to harvest some of them.
I am also interested to see how cutting the scapes affects the development of the bulb/cloves. I have heard that cutting the scape (flower stalk) before it blooms out allows the plant to divert the energy it would have used for reproduction to bulb development. At the end of the season, after I dig these things up, I will compare the plants with harvested scapes to those where I let the flowers bloom.
