Only hardneck varieties (not softneck) will produce a crop of scapes, correct.

I figure that if I left it in the ground in July (and I have – whoops!), my usual harvest time, it would just re-start its cycle right then, and be just fine. Why stress about storage conditions, and mixing up varieties in unlabeled paper bags and all that? I harvest them in July, replant in August, mulch well. They come up soon and stay green over the winter and then spring into action in April.
