I'm jealous! I did, however, talk to Wayne at the Coventry Farmers Market the other weekend (love his watercress!) and would have loved to attend his session. There are spring onions and I would imagine what words for scapes would work for onions, too. That said, I've not tried. So, if you do, please write back and share your success with the rest of us. One of the most important things Farmer Dave from Santa Fe reiterated was that the scapes had to be very new - picked before they become darker green and tough. That might make a difference with the scapes in your garden. Here's a great <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2003-06-01/Choosing-a-Food-Dehydrator.aspx" rel="nofollow">article</a> that tells about dehydrators' many features to help you select the model best for your needs. Good luck and I look forward to hearing back from you! Hi Evelyn,

We learned a whole bunch about garlic and scapes this weekend at the NOFA conference from Wayne's Organic Garden here in Oneco CT. He shared his scape pesto recipe and and how to make garlic powder...Scape powder sounds great too! Are there such things as onion scapes? In our garden, we get funky looking scape looking stems with tiny onion blooms on top..they're very tough though..We sometimes chop them up small for salads and soups. DO you recommend a certain type or brand of dehydrator? Thanks, Terry! This is great!
