     yum!  i pulled some green garlic the other   
   day and just ate it right there.

     it can vary.  mine are just starting to get   
   scapes, so it will be a few weeks to a month yet   
   here and since i do let the scapes grow and get   
   bulbules on them i leave them a bit longer than   
   1/3, but as little as possible since it really   
   does start to affect the quality of the tunic.   
      
     i'll have to stop watering them in a few weeks.   
      
     so far this year has been about the opposite   
   of the past several years.  which is ok but   
   different for sure.  a lot of sunshine, things   
   are growin'...  :)
