We cut all of the scapes except this year I wanted seeds for a later experiment. I left 6 scapes on the plant. When it came to harvesting the seeds, I pulled the garlic heads out of the ground instead of having to dig them out as they were much smaller. It shouldn't take that long to break off the scapes. I plant 5 rows, 22' long. It may take up to an hour, but that's because I rubber band them in groups of 10.
