Please, eat the flowers!

Last year, I bought some hard neck garlic from Pinetree Garden Seeds. I immediately planted up two squares in my square foot garden – then sat on my butt until the rest of it sprouted before I double dug my stone planter and stuck the rest of it into the ground.

Now, the thing is, garlic bulbs are the frosting on the cake. What I really need (on the addict level) are the young garlic flowers. They have the BEST, most delicate, chivey-oniony-garlic flavor! Really easy to cook with too.

So, I’ve been inspecting my garlic almost daily in fading anticipation over the past couple of months. Today, finally, the first flower has appeared. Yummy!!
