I still have no signs of scapes on mine yet. 
I did get a big harvest of Chinese garlic chives yesterday though. These grow around random spots in my yard from a planting my mom did decades ago. Decided to harvest them so I could mow easier. Didn’t realizes it would be this much!
That’s a lot of garlic chives! I believe last year I had a lot of shallot tops, and someone here suggested something kimchee from them, because people make kimchee from chives.
Zucchini flowers are here!
Also cucumber blossoms. And bell pepper.
I think I can fry up 2-3 zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta tonight, as we actually have all the ingredients!
You’ve quite some production there, looks like a pro.
This will probably be my last time dealing with cabbages and cauliflowers.
For for the cabbages, no heads and the leaves were too fibrous, uneatable. I believe they resembled more the outer leaves.
As for the cauliflowers, after I harvested them, I discovered the “flower” was starting to grow, but it would to much spaces that might be better used for tomatoes. They will end up in the compose bin.
On a positive note, wild strawberries and cherries from garden.
Beauties! What is your weather like?
I want that!!
Tomatoes ripening in slow motion… I’m hopeful tomorrow will be the day!
Any tips on maximizing production once they start?
I count 13 on one plant so far, the other one is just starting with about 4-5 babies visible.
I think it depends on your situation. You can control adequate water and nutrition, but the weather is in the hands of mother nature. For me, that means hoping days above 90 are interrupted by days in the low 80’s.
Today’s garlic! I had shared this on a Costco thread, but decided it was better here. Better than usual. All Creole.
Got really hot in the last two days, so I’m thinking we are done.
I guess this question is addressed to me. We have the summer temperature right now even we are still spring since a week. We can definitely feel the impact of global warming.
I seem to ask everyone that. Is summer typically 80’s days and 60’s nights? I asked you because I think hot temps effect greens like collards.
I asked @Saregama because I believe it effects how quickly some things ripen.
Starting this week, it’s 80’s days and 55’s nights. Before it was cooler, maybe the second week of May, it was hot for a few days and then a dip again. I suspect that I planted the collards in September / October, maybe that’s the reason.
Ah - and I thought the qs was for @naf 
I’m in SoCal at the moment - high 70s/maybe low 80s during the day, 60s at night.
That sounds perfect! All you need now is patience grasshopper! I dont have anything close to tomatoes yet. When did you put those outside? NVM. I see upthread it was about two months ago.
These were from the week before everything shut down - the baby plants we got that almost died…
“My” seedlings (from seed) went out some maybe 3 weeks ago (still quite small but starting to flower, which is puzzling) and some more this weekend in a different spot, which seem to have taken very well and bushed up in just a day or two! More to go out later this week (when I make myself) - I want to give them a bit more time after moving from one small container to another.
I guess transplanting in stages is silly, but as a first-timer I didn’t want to kill all the “good” seedlings at once, and also want to vary the source - this last lot is mostly seedlings that sprouted from store (organic) tomatoes we ate.
Meanwhile, there was a mushroom farm in the tomato pots this morning:
That’s wonderful! When did you plant the garlic?
I stuck some sprouting-in-the-fridge cloves in soil two months ago, have had greens come up that I just cut yesterday.
So gorgeous @naf!
Are cherries hard to grow?
We have some strawberry plants starting, but fruiting infrequently.
My orignal intention was for the blossoms, it is placed in a semi sunny spot. Growing in a large pot, the tree makes some cherries, not abundant. With age, it’s improving in quantity each year, I can’t complain. Fertiliser in summer for the fruits and flowers next year. I would say I basically do nothing much to maintain it. 
Maybe after the end of fruits, I should repot it in a bigger pot. Never any disease, I would say it’s pretty easy to grow.
