This week Hattie’s Garden will be again harvesting garlic scapes. These are the stalks that grow from the bulbs of hardneck garlic plants that taste mild and sweet, like chives or scallions, but with a hint of unmistakable garlic flavor. You can eat them raw or cooked, whole or chopped.

Prepping them couldn’t be easier: Just trim and discard the stringy tip of the scape, then cut crosswise, either into tiny coins or string bean-like stalks. The easiest way to think about cooking with garlic scapes is to use them the way you would use garlic or scallions, although there’s hardly a wrong way to enjoy these tasty tendrils.

In addition, you can order young beets, young onions, arugula, mesclun, loose leaf lettuce, hakurei turnips and a nice selection of fresh herbs.

And don’t forget your Vermont Compost potting soil in 60 qt. or 20 qt. bag of Fort Vee or Fort Lite. It is the best potting soil we know of and use it almost exclusively for all of our plant growing.
