What are the visual cues that it is time to cut a garlic scape (for the
skillet)?

How low should it be cut?

Should any portion of it be discarded?

they don't really ripen. The earlier the tenderer, the best are cut as
soon as the base of the flower becomes visible, in which case you have
to cut just below the flower. this is also best for the bulb, because
all the energy of the extra foot of scape will now go to the bulb.
