Ken, Jerry, or whoever else - what is your opinion about removing the scapes from the stiff-neck garlic? I've done this in the past and did not really see much difference in the size of the bulbs that did and did not have the scape removed, but I think I may have waited too long to remove them. This year I'm planning to do so with some of the bulbs, but as soon as I see the scapes forming. (I also grow a couple varieties of softneck garlic - which gives me very large bulbs; which I just mention by way of encouragement to anyone who thinks they can't grow it because they aren't in the south.)
