The scape is the flower stalk of hardneck garlic. Softnecked garlics don't shoot up a flower stalk. cut the scape off at the base of the scape, not the plant. to find the base grab the scape and follow it down to where it comes out of the plant and than either snap it off or cut it with a knife. I cut mine when there is one curl in the scape and the flower has not developed much. if you cut them later they tend to be quite tough.
