You’re incorrect in the thought hat water could “rot” out the bulb by pulling out the entire stem of the scape. In fact, most Ukrainian villagers who basically ALL homestead out of necessity have been doing it in the following manner for centuries and only producing the best results. You actually start by pinching the bottom of the stem about an inch above the first set of “leaves” using your nails until you hear it crack, and then rotate your hand a quarter turn and pinch the stem again to crack it from the other angle (so you’ve basically snapped a square shape visually). Then simply pull the entire scape like you do, however if you snapped it properly at the bottom, it’ll come out with zero hesitation whatsoever. This is the most widely used method by actual people who know a thing or two about growing anything, and have passed on/down this to each generation along the way…
@@MikeOxlong- Thanks Mike. Very similar to what my Korean and Chinese friends do. They use a toothpick or something similar to loosen the sheath around the scape before pulling out the scape. I like your method better. Seems to me you would get more of the tasty white scape stem. The toothpick method, and the white scape stem breaks. Scapes are coming in right now (5/24/2024, Iowa Zone 5), so I'll give the Ukrainian method a try...
My grandmother grew garlic every year, basic old school growing- and nothing scientific but she taught me to wait til the scape made a full loop then cut it about 1” above the top leaves. -Interesting to see how you pull your garlic scape vs cutting it, thanks for the awesome video. FYI it’s “university of Guelph” (Gwell-f)
Useful information. Thanks. My garlic scapes haven't appeared yet, but I will be ready when they do. BTW, U of Guelph (pronounced Gwelf) is in Guelph, Ontario, about 90 minutes northwest of Toronto. U of Guelph started as an agricultural college and retains a strong legacy in agricultural research.
The University of Guelph, where my wife and I both went in the 80's is about an hour and a half west of Toronto. They do a huge amount of Agricultural research.
I paues video and ran my garden :) never heard of this tips.. pulled out one by one.. collected almost 2 lbs fresh scapes.. asked neighbors, they didn't hear this before :) Thank You Brother!
I harvest my scapes with a bag lined milk crate. As you fill the crate you can easily change out for another bag and leave your harvest at the end of the rows. Will go much faster than your pouch.😊
Jesse this made my morning. You and Josh are doing such a great job on all the media stuff.... I still love your scatterbrained and unpolished presentations (and I mean that in the most loving way! SQUIRREL!.....) This content is a joy to watch and listen and learn from. And I love these short little videos too! Short and Sweet and SQUIRREL!.......
I'm in Hamilton close enough to cycle to Guelph or Toronto so i get Toronto. Talk to anyone outside of Canada and if they only know one place in Canada they'll have heard of Toronto so of course you use Trawna as the reference point.
Hey friend, I have about 300 garlic plants this year, I always try to pull my scapes early just like you. I've been scaling up my crop from just a few heads about 6 years ago. I love how my yeild is exponentially growing year over year, Im glad to always have garlic to fill in the voids in the garden. Fall planted. I'm in Connecticut Zone 6B
I've always been told not pulling your scapes also effects long term storage of the bulb. Super tasty sautéed' alongside a steak too. Would love to see a followup on how you dry and store them too Jesse. I usually just hang them in my shed but have seen some pretty great drying rack setups too!
Jesse, this is a great, great video. I'd love to see more content like this, that shares ag research on a practical market garden/small farm scale. Also loved the tips about the specifics of harvesting, pulling twice and picking, making sure you're gathering multiple scapes before you drop them in the pouch. Just agog at the value shared in this video, thank you!
I like to leave the scapes on some of them to become bulblets to plant. They turn into wonderful little rounds. They are about the size of a nickel or a quarter , and very tasty.
I planted a few (dozen) of the green onions that get lost in the back of the fridge over the winter. They took off like Gangsters, and are starting to flower. I'm letting this batch go, "For SCIENCE!" And seeds.
Awesome research. I have always pulled mine early, but then kept hearing people talk about waiting until they curl, so I thought next year I would try going longer. I'll be scrapping that idea and sticking with my early pull. Thanks!
I love lacto-fermented scapes but cloves are the best! I do the former when fresh and the latter around early December before the sprouting begins. Easiest way for both is to pack Mason jar (I use 500 ml), leaving space for weight to keep them below surface of liquid, and top up with iodine-free sea-salted (chlorine free) water (I mix 2Tbsp in 1 liter water). I use flat-ish rocks or glass "pucks" as weights. Close jars loosely. Leave at room temp and check daily (loosen even more if need be to make sure gas is escaping- you'll see the bubbles rise). Transfer to fridge after 5 to 7 days (you can taste test or just go with observation). Keeps easily 6 months but probably quite a bit longer. Some may turn greenish blue; this is not a problem (read up about it!). The taste will be pickle-y. This is our third year lacto-fermenting...a great way to store some of our garden produce....and yes, we added a second refrigerator.
Gosh I needed this video… so many people say you shouldn’t pull scapes before they curl… for me, they are too woody at that point! But I didn’t want to cut the scapes too early if it effected the bulb… confusing but
Great to watch your videos. You are very interesting, thank you. I enjoy your videos for the often unusual facts you come up with and I love your sense of humour … oh and the frequent mention of actual studies! So many things to like about your channel. Thank you very much for making such informative and enjoyable vids. All the best from Suffolk UK.
I love garlic and I love no-till grower's channel! Pickled scapes (chopped) are great in fresh and canned salsa too. I also freeze them to go in soups throughout the year.
I grew hard neck garlic for the first time this year and pulled the scapes. They are delicious. It is almost time to harvest the garlic itself. So for a family farm it is two harvests. Very cool. I cut mine but I will be pulling next year.
Thanks for that, I’m going to pull my scapes sooner this year! The University of Guelph is pronounced Gwelf. Guelph is a town about an hour west of Toronto. That thing about pulling twice and snapping is something I can’t wait to try!
My local seed garlic grower claims the less of the scape you take the better, meaning just pop it right under the scape head (future seed head) and like that the long scape works as another leaf for the plant.
I do not pull the scapes but rather cut them with my tomato pruning shears as close to where they come out past the leaves and don't ever recall seeing the scape stem continue to grow. I have has one regrow a new scape but only saw that happen one time.
In my limited experience, it's not so much that it's tender when harvested early, it's the other side of the coin. It's far too tough & stringy harvested later. You can cook them as much as you like but it'll be an appalling mouth feel, tough, stringy, and probably removed from your mouth and left on the edge of the plate when your meal's finished. Edit: based on this video, I also tried pulling them off this year. Very bad idea. First one I tried didn't want to come; then the whole plant lifted ! Probably messed that one up now. One can snap the more tender younger scapes, but many don't like snapping either and split, and show how stringy the scape has become. I will go back to using secateurs next year.
That is a very interesting topic. I'd like to grow garlic in the future, I know a few things about it but this was new. Thank you for the information! It would be great to see a video about garlic from seed to harvest, and how to store it from your point of view.
Awesome! Indeed. I did a video about garlic last year, but I didn't love it so I'm going to update that one this year and involve more research. So be on the lookout for that one!
I pulled the scapes on my elephant garlic and upon harvesting, I found "lumps" at the base of the stalk which turned out to be the garlic putting its seed just above the bulb. They were bound and determined to reproduce, scapes or not.
Last year i purchased a couple dozen bulbs of garlic seed from a local grower. They were the biggest bulbs i have personally seen...3.5"+ in size. He sold the entire dried out plant with the bulb still attached and I noticed he never cut any of the scapes off any of his plants. I was shocked. I cut my scapes off always but I sometime think about how much bigger those bulbs might of been had he cut the scapes off?
I am growing garlic for the first time , I did not pull anyvSCAPES, I will cut some tomorrow. This is my first time growing garlic. I cook pizza and wished I knew about garlic scapes sooner but now I do.
Great minds think alike. I just did a video on this yesterday. Your garlic is looking awesome Jesse. Looks like you are going to have a great harvest this year!
Can you talk about what to do with all the “babies “ hanging on the garlic bulb? I’m a first timer and my beautiful big white bulbs had lots of little brownish baby bulbs around the bottom. Plant? Throw out? Use?
I leave the scapes on my wild garlic to maximize seeds These seeds take two years but you can spread it more I get small bulbs but get more going in the long run Then i can pick the scapes like i do with my farmers market garlic Great way to explain this early is best but it can get away on you lol
The scape will dry hard thats whthey call it hard neck right? Or am i confused lol It can split apart if you leave the scape on so it dries out good making long storage in property but dried out falling apart into single clves is better for planting not eating really but !?
A couple years back I saw Karl Hammer speak. The title was something like 'molten rock coalescing into living soil' but he went into his garlic growing. He doesn't pick any scapes, and grows huge garlic. He said if the soil doesn't limit your garlic then there's no reason to pick scapes. He grows the best garlic I've ever seen. And brought in a bunch dried with the scapes attached. He also plants a lot of bulbils. I still pick mine, but I could see quitting someday if we get our soil in order. I'd expect the research didn't happen in a soil as healthy as his.
That title haha! I actually used to feel that same way. We've always grown pretty large, healthy garlic whether we pulled the scapes or not, but I compared the two last year (scape vs no scape) and the no scapes we're consistently bigger. It was a fairly small non-scientific trial, but compared with the research I've seen and anecdotal evidence from others I'm fairly convinced. THAT SAID, could be genetic, climatic, who knows. Biology is bonkers.
@@notillgrowers I think his soil is probably about as good as it gets being that he runs VT compost, and has one of two private soil labs in the country. He was adamant that it increased yield to leave scapes because it didn't effect his bulb size, and he plants a lot of scapes that mature into small to mid sized bulbs. He also showed slides of a project he did to get rid of a waste grade of compost that was spilled in the farm roads where he made a hugelculture pasture by cutting a couple acres of woods and burying the trees. I would be interested to hear how that went. You should try getting him on the podcast. He's quite the fellow
wow that's a bunch of garlic! I would love to grow that. When do you pull all your garlic up? Also, when do you pull all of your crop? I was told mid to end of July is this true for you also.
I’m helping someone that is new to growing garlic and was curious if you had any names of buyers for your bulbs? We are growing Georgian Crystal, Purple Polaski, and Ivan. I believe we have a buyer for this year but wanted to look at other options and seeing if maybe you could help guide me. We have two crops one is organic and the other was accidentally fertilized with a fish meal that wasn’t organic so we just replanted the stuff from last year there. (The new stuff is in a totally different location way more than 50ft away) But we are all kind of learning here so any tips is so helpful! Thanks and I hope you are having a good holiday season!
I snap or cut my garlic scapes. If you pull the whole scape stalk it will leave a hole at the top of the top leaf..... leaving your garlic vulnerable to disease.

Crush your garlic 5 mins before eating, it'll convert more allinin to allicin and have more smell/health benefits.
I do not pull the scapes but rather cut them with my tomato pruning shears as close to where they come out past the leaves and don't ever recall seeing the scape stem continue to grow.

Scapes taste wonderful anyway you eat the. Great video Jesse. Now I know when to harvest. Havagudun Mr. Gardener.

Quick question, where did you get that harvest apron? It looks super useful!
I don’t seem to have many scapes this year on my garlic,and when is it ready for harvest we wait till leaves start to turn yellow on the bottom

Garlic Scape Butter!!
Good stuff thanks!
Thanks for sharing I think we made a mistake
I am fairly certain that my scape stalks continued to grow out after I pulled them. Weird. Will check next year to see if I’m nuts. :)
Mine always continue to grow a couple inches. It seems the earlier I pull them, the longer they continue to grow.
What do I do if my smaller bulb doesn't grow a scape? The stalk seems thin but it should be close to ready? Do I just pull it out of the ground anyways?
Shoulder height garlic?! 😮
Does anyone know where I can find Jesse's content on growing garlic with austrian winter peas? TIA
I thought I had a lot of garlic planted, that is a lot of garlic.
how do you get your garlic to grow soo big? how do you keep weeds out of your garden?
How do we get a no till hat?
I cut my scapes , I wonder if that is OK?
