I don't really care if removing the scapes helps the garlic or not, I only know that my family and I absolutely LOVE garlic scape pesto and to make it, you need to pick the scapes!😄😄😄
After the garlic is harvested, you can plant anything that will produce before first frost. I usually go with a second planting of things such as lettuce, zucchini, kale, bush beans, basil.
