The Great Garlic Scape

The summer solstice is right around the corner, which means the garlic in the garden is ready to give us a little preview. Here come the garlic scapes! For the next week, maybe two, each garlic plant will produce a single flower stalk, which begins as a tender, green shoot, and grows long and curly. If picked before the stalk gets tough, scapes are a delicacy, with a milder garlic taste than the bulbs. Gardeners need to clip the scapes off to keep energy going to the bulb anyway, so the dozens of dishes we can make with the scapes—pastas, salads, omelets, soups—is a huge bonus. And if you're not growing garlic in your garden (maybe you will now!) you can usually find scapes in farmers' markets seasonally.

Ceramic Soap Dish by Local Artist

Made by a local artist, I first saw these sweet and quirky soap dishes at my local farmer's market. The Tiffany Soap Dish is completely and lovingly crafted by hand, so no two are alike. Painted with lead-free glazes, the Tiffany colors are soft, allowing the earthy quality of the clay to peek through. Each has three little holes, which helps soap dry properly. Available in robin's egg blue and white wash.

Tiffany Soap Dish available at Farmhouse Wares.
