Garlic Scapes and etc

Today I picked the heads of the seed shoots from the garlic. That means it should be ready to harvest in 2 - 3 weeks, if the weather stays warm. I've seen these Garlic Scapes mentioned as being eatable, so I asked my friend who gave me the garlic last year. Tonight we ended up making pesto with them; 3 Garlic scapes, small handful of basil, 1/4 cup fresh parmesan, some pine nuts and about 1/4 cup olive oil. It was a lovely green color, and quite flavory, spicy, we didn't need much on our spaghettit to make it yummy !!

Alos harvesting from the garden this week are; broccoli, 4 kinds of lettuce, cauliflower, bok choy which is mostly going to seed, Mizuna, kohlrabi and green beans from the greenhouse.
