Garlic; old wive’s tale?



Pull scapes or harvest bubils?
Local garlic is $16.99 a pound! I tested to see what happens if you don’t pull the scape.

You get 2 large cloves, and a bunch of bulbils to plant. But overall, less garlic for eating.

  1. Whenever I need to get some good vitamins in after eating bad for for a few days I always reach for the Garlic, onions, Ginger. Always feel better after.

  2. My garlic looks great until you taste it – ie. it has no taste.
    WTF is going on there I wonder?

  3. It's all about energy storage. The plant uses the energy stored to make seeds so you get smaller cloves. They're still garlic though! No harm done either getting seeds and smaller cloves or larger cloves and no seeds. Depends on what you want. Most people either want seeds, or high quality cloves hence the prevailing habits.

  4. That last bit is just friggin magic; magic that food can come from dirt and magic because you can pass that on to the little ones. [insert lion king circle of life song]

  5. Plant and grow that garlic seed and you will get a different strain of garlic. Reverse genetics. Enjoy

  6. Stop that now!…. Plant one yesr, wait another year,… then get a bountiful harvest!!!
