Gardening has been underway! Updates forthcoming. My first product has been harvested:

Garlic scapes! I’ve never tried them but this year I grew hard neck garlic and I’ve heard only good things.

Not ready to use them right away, I put them in water and that seems to be working well to maintain freshness.

New frontiers

I did a tiny bit of online research that said they’re good used like green onions, so I chopped them up and sautéed them in butter before combining them into some scrambled eggs. To me they taste like garlic-flavored green vegetable. They’re fairly toothsome and taste green, plus a hint of garlic. Sort of subtle, but definitely tasty.

Another recipe that sounds interesting is garlic scape pesto. I still have a few left, maybe I’ll try that tonight.
