I love making pesto out of just about any green thing we grow here on the farm. It’s easy and delicious on any night of the week. Garlic scape pesto is a classic. The scapes must be trimmed off the garlic plants midsummer so that the plant will put its energy into the garlic bulb rather than trying to produce seeds. For a long time the scapes were simply discarded. Now we know just how tasty they are.
