Garlic. Radishes. Yup.

We picked scapes nearly a month ago.  It's really getting close to harvesting. Garlic is a Fall plant, Summer harvest guy.  You need to get it in the ground before the ground is so frozen solid you can't dig into it.  I'll do more on garlic planting as the time comes.  In mid June-ish garlic will shoot up scapes.  This is what would produce seeds, and yeah, you could grow garlic from the seeds, but it would take you a LONG time before you got a decent head of garlic (Garlic is planted by dividing the head into cloves and planting the cloves.  Each clove will produce it's own head.  Magic!)  So we take the scapes off when they've got about 2 curls in them.  ROAST em up and eat away.  
Radishes are just so pretty!
