Yay!! I have scapes! Some of you may recall I planted my garlic early this spring instead of the recommended fall planting. Hardneck varieties of garlic will put up a flower stalk called a scape, and in order to promote bulb formation those scapes have to be cut off. My farmers market friends had scapes a couple of weeks ago, I was starting to think I wouldn't have any. It was quite a relief to see them yesterday.
Produce out of the gardens this past week:
4 yellow zucchini
1 black zucchini
6 kohlrabi
3 onions
peas
basil, oregano, sage
We'll be having Pureed Kohlrabi tonight. And I'm going to try and get the last of the peas cooked into baby food then frozen.

I'm a female 30 something living in Iowa. I have a degree in Computer Engineering, a cat, a dozen houseplants, and a lot of veggie garden. I aspire to be something besides a wage slave for the next 30 years. To that end I have set myself on my path to freedom, and I'm dragging husband and babies with me.
