Anyone can garden-from herbs in the windowsill to pots on the patio to small plots for veggies in your yard.

I actually have more challenges than most-which is why I have such easy solutions! enjoy-and grow more food!

Use that garlic!

Watching garlic grow is amazing. it shoots up sometimes 2 feet or more. As the days lengthen, it flowers (called scapes.)

We use the scapes as fresh garlic-it is pungent, green and truly fine.You can make a pesto or just chop them up into whatever you need.

There is something else we do..we don;t wait for the garlic to dry up enough to remove from the ground. I'll take the smallest ones and use them-fresh. They have far less skin. they are excellent; moist; just try cooking with them.Chop them up-you;ll have little in the way of skins to remove!
