I did not miss green garlic season after all. Went to the Saturday farmer's market(1) for fruit but mostly brought home green garlic, garlic flower, and these green onions with round white onionness on them.

(1)

Tuesday -- farmers market in Felton (in the mountains: twelve? wiles away)
Wednesday -- farmers market downtown (the one I can walk to)
Friday -- farmers market westside (in a gentrifying industrial block) and Watsonville
Saturday -- farmers market in Aptos.

I think the other days have them somewhere close by, but I don't remember.

Does anybody know why I keep getting a munged page with the error message that the style code didn't finish running in a timely fashion? It never happened before this week and now it's happening more than once in a day.

Is "green garlic" the same thing as "garlic scapes"? If so, what do you do with them?

I don't know what garlic scapes are. Green garlic is immature garlic, with the paper skins relatively undeveloped and a long neck like a green onion. There were also flowers of garlic.

You cook with them the same way you would cook with garlic or onion. The flavor is interchangeable, just delicously different.
