when do you take the roots off?

After the drydown/curing stage (unless you're French and like untrimmed
roots, of course).

it's gonna be a while yet before ours is ready,
scapes are starting to plump up a little.

I just snapped off scapes last week and made garlic scape pesto; time for
another round to get the ones that were too small or missed. Too wet
today, though.
