I find it really satisfying to put my garden to bed in the fall, in part, because I get great pleasure out of restoring order to the garden — everything looks so neat and tidy once again.

Garlic Scapes! This is just the beginning of my sc Garlic Scapes! This is just the beginning of my scape harvest. If you are growing hard neck garlic, it's time to remove that curly-cue flower stalk.
