Most of the garlic is producing scapes now. These are the "flower" heads. I put "flower" in quotes because they don't actually bloom. Instead, they make clusters of tiny bulbs instead of an actual flower. I think these rob the bulb of some nutrition, and the cloves will be smaller as a result. So I cut the scapes almost as soon as they appear.
These are actually quite tasty, stir fried. I think they would also be good in a soup. They need thorough cooking for best tenderness, then they are a bit like a bean in texture but with mild garlic flavor.
