I'm not sure that I'll be able to phrase this right, but here goes... When scapes are bloomed out and if you don't have any pods on them, what is the 'best' thing to do? Cut the scapes down right away or wait until the scapes are brown and then pull them? Assuming neatness and the looks of ugly dying scapes were not an issue, what would be the most beneficial for the plant? I recall hearing a few years ago that the scapes should be left on, but thought I'd ask here on this forum. Thanks!
