Hey guys! Today we are harvesting garlic scapes and processing them for future use! Back in fall we planted 3 varieties of Hard Neck Garlic! We ordered them from Mountain Valley Garlic
www.mountainvalleygarlic.com/...
We bought the 3lb sampler for planting and have had GREAT success! In this video we are showing you harvesting the scapes from the garlic plants and how we processed them into a paste and freezing them for future use! Below are also the recipes that I spoke about wanting to try in the future, pesto and pickled.

I don’t know why but when you bit the garlic scape and started chewing on it, it made me think of a cute little bunny going into the garden and eating the plants 😅

@DevonXlee 3 дня назад

Gosh I have beans out the wazoo, nothing (but us) eat them here. Asian long bean varieties. Highly recommend! The harvest is incredible since they're so long.

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 3 дня назад

We can’t get any beans to grow this season! So many slug problems with the seedlings 😔

@DevonXlee 3 дня назад

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 ooh I had that issue when they started growing, took a few sowings to get the seedlings to last! My issue was pill bugs. We got Sluggo Plus, an OMRI rated organic pest deterrent for slugs and pill bugs.

Great idea to freeze them. Delish!

Garlic scape pesto is one of my all time favorite things and the garlic scape season is SO SHORT.

Garlic scapes are so good stir fried 😋

@Graive17 3 дня назад

I bet a dry ferment of these scapes would be incredible! May be a technique to use in the future because it requires so little time to do and to prepare. I love these types of videos that you guys do!

You can donate eggs also to your local food pantry for fam's in need. In the past we had all our friends keep their old egg containers and I'd pick them up when they had a stack and then we made arrangements with the food pantry to set up a drop off routine. It felt good knowing our chickens were feeding families. 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐣

This was my first year growing garlic and I also harvested my garlic scape. I made a log of garlic scape compound butter (I'm thinking top off a nice steak with it) and I'm making the rest into pesto too!! Loved this video!

@bethb9966 3 дня назад

I make compound butter with garlic scapes, freeze small disks in wax paper. Use when cooking something that may need onion. Also great on steak. The town I live in has a big garlic festival each fall

Why does garlic scapes sound like an iPhone game? Edit: the scoring is genius and the butter! Omg! What a great idea!

@by8116 3 дня назад

You're going to have an amazing garlic harvest! I love your idea to score and freeze your garlic scapes. I always just sauté mine in smallish pieces. I've also put them on the bbq.

You can do it! Garlic might be the easiest thing we’ve grown so far, I guess we’ll really see once we harvest the bulbs! 🤞🤞

@crystlgy 3 дня назад

This looks so lovely! How delightful to have all these delish scapes to eat up!!!One of my favorite seasonal quick fry veggies. High heat your choice of oil and a little bit of salt and it's really perfection. For making them into pesto, or really any pesto, my hottest tip is to freeze in ice cube trays! 🤍🤍

@Patti-1962 3 дня назад

I LOVE the idea of freezing the scapes in small squares for use in the future. We freeze all our produce from our garden, so this is right up my alley!! Thank you for another fantastic video!❤🎉

@polochick2006 3 дня назад

You can use garlic as a border plant, plant it around the beds you want to protect and it will help keep pests away.

@marjoriecook7556 2 дня назад

You are supposed to pull out the scape rather than snip… it gets the full portion and triggers the bulb production faster. Love the idea of the scoring! I’ve also blended with olive oil then frozen in ice cube trays. Once solid, pop them into a freezer bag to use for veggie sauces, etc.

I live in WA at 1000ft elevation, and NONE of my garlic survived our snow (two feet this year)... I'm gonna try again, but man was that a bummer!

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 3 дня назад

Oh no!! Did you mulch them? Also were they soft neck varieties? I’ve read that hard neck. Garlic does better with the cold weather .

@amberh4109 3 дня назад

@@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 I did mulch them, but just with straw... and I think they were hardneck, so I'm gonna try both this time. :)

We wanted to pickle some but didn’t have enough for both! Next year!

@kristy4619 3 дня назад

Next time add olive oil to the food processor then use cookie scoop and scoop on parchment paper tray. Flash freeze then put in zip lock bag and they'll stay apart bc of flash freezing

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 3 дня назад

Just olive oil and the scapes or along with the butter?

@DevonXlee 3 дня назад

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 just the oil! The butter one you did is great too, but they're just mentioning how you minced the scapes alone and froze vs adding some oil when in the processor.

@finerie_ 3 дня назад

Hey Kristi! I just wanted to say I saw a video the other day about growing tobacco and how (like your garlic) animals/“pests” don’t eat it. Obviously it’s because of the nicotine but this gentleman soaks the leaves in water and sprays that water over his other crops to deter anything from eating them! Might be a natural pesticide alternative to look into :) or maybe you can do the same with the garlic and it’ll have the same effect??

@sweetlifeofzackkristi9574 3 дня назад

I bought seeds for this exact purpose the only problem is tobacco is toxic to the touch and we have a little guy who can’t resist touching every plant 😂
