I've had a good garlic year. Better than I can remember. Probably giving them the
bean/pea bed this year. Crop rotation.
Caught them before bolting and getting woody. I often miss that window of tender as
just a couple warm sunny days can force them fast.
Pesto, I used pecans.
Sauteed leeks and mushroom, added chopped scapes at the end with pan off the heat.
-froze that for later.
Fridge pickled a load. 2 big quarts, 2 pints I froze.
I fridge pickle year round at least twice a month and more in the summer. From all
harvest. Always something to pickle. (I'll pull up my recipe if anyone wants it)
I found a lost bag in the crisper drawer that was a couple weeks old. Still fresh and
tender...I thought it might go woody but I did pick very early this year.
