Garlic is a magical thing. Everybody knows that.But most people have no idea how magical it is. I didn't know until three years ago, when I got my first garlic scapes out of a farm box.

Your weekly farm update:

TOSSED: The fourth kohlrabi. It put up a valiant fight for three solid weeks, but the march of time got to it before I could. Also, inevitably, beet greens, but those don't count because they're only potentially food to begin with.

PRESERVED: More green garlic and scapes pulverized for the frozen bin. A head and a half of cauliflower in day five of its pickling.
