Garlic going to seed?

[Teej]

My Autumn planted garlic is going really well but a couple of them look like seed heads are developing.
Do I just leave them or take them off?
Thanks v much for your help!

nip 'em off  ;D

[HappyCatz]

yes, take them off but they are delicious to eat :)

Yum, scapes... a real treat! Cook for a bit longer than you'd guess, serve with a little butter & salt, like garlicy asparagus...

Oh, is THAT what Scapes are??  I'm an idiot! ::)
Will take them off tonight (if it stays dry for 5 minutes!) & eat them.

Thanks very much folks.

Take them off and you'll get bigger bulbs. The scapes go well in stirfries.
