Sometimes I like the scapes more than the garlic itself. Here's a tip: if you want scapes (and are growing a hardneck garlic variety that produces a scape) then inspect the garlic regularly so you discover when the scapes begin to grow. If they are cut too late, they will be woody and too fibrous to chew. I cut mine when they are still curved before they straighten up. The ones I cut today, shown in the picture, were just right, tender and easy to chew. I put the extras in the fridge where they could stay fresh for many days.
