that's a drag you are so limited in varieties. i would love to ignore the scapes because cutting them is too time consuming. i've been cutting scapes for about a week now. about 10 am today the heat wasn't so bad, i purposely went out early before the sun came out of the clouds full blast, but the humidity was really high so it was a sweat soaked task and the mosquitoes just love to swarm you when they smell the sweat. i really don't care to eat scapes so i just remove them based upon what i have read re storage and bulb size.

garlic is an odd plant so whatever works for you is the best way to go. i should experiment and let some scapes just grow and see if there is a difference but i'm too lazy to track which bulbs were the ones with/without scapes as i grow several varieties.
