Thanks for that tip - my garlic is growing well and I tried some green garlic 
scallions mixed with some green onion scallions ==== yum !
 
Did I understand correctly that you are dehydrating the garlic greens?
 
Can I dehydrate some of the onion greens also?

 Most of the garlic is  harvested as garlic scallions which we eat in 
profusion in the summer and fall,

bulbs, leaves, scapes, and all.  A very great lot of it is chopped up and 
dehydrated ... again the whole plant.  A few are left to mature into bulbs, 
especially the music garlic which is very large.  So the garlic cloves for 
this purpose are planted 3" or closer in both directions and the bed is 
harvested clean.  If the garlic isn't being used all at once, rather than
plant 
between the plants, I will pull every other plant to give the remaining ones 
some extra room.  But in the end the bed will be harvested clean and 
something 
else planted there.

Had planted sunflowers, beans, peas, lima beans last weekend.  They started 
to come up.... and BAM!
 
I started finding the tops of some were cut off and rolled off the hill of 
the row into the valley, and most are just gone.  The stem of the plant is 
visible just below the surface.
 
"Fuz", the local about 20 miles north, is having a big problem with mice this 
year, he's starting his 3rd planting.
 
How can I tell the difference between mice and cutworms?  I don't see any 
mice dropping, or cutworms in/on the soil............(which is a light sandy 
color)
