Garlic, garlic scapes, squash, (both zucchini, spherical zucchini, or yellow squash), sugar snap peas, Hakurei turnips, and inexperienced butter head lettuce. The scapes are the tops of the garlic that if allowed would develop into a flower. After we take away them from the still-growing garlic crops the garlic bulbs get bigger. It’s a win-win harvesting them. They’re so scrumptious and eradicating them helps our garlic get huge! Garlic scapes are a fleeting favourite of many. They’re extraordinarily versatile.

We love to easily cube all these new veggies and throw them in collectively in a stir fry with salad on the facet. The turnip greens are simply revived in chilly water after which might be steamed, or rubbed with oil and salt, then air fried or baked into chips.
