I haven’t experimented to see if cutting the scapes actually affects bulb size. I just like cutting them and cooking with them becasue they are a wonderful way to get an early taste of the garlic before we pull the bulbs. A few more weeks to go on that.

I enjoyed trying my scapes in pesto recently. Delicious!!
