I don't know why you are having trouble posting links. I think everyone can do it. If I want to post a link to a page I first open a second window on my computer and go to the page I want to link to > go up to the spot with the page name on it> right click it and then copy it> then go back to the first page and paste it. It usually works fine. It only came out looking like yours once when I didn't leave a blank space before and after the link. Then the computer messed it up. So I usually put the link on the next line all by itself so I don't have any problem.
And I agree.... I take the scapes off early every year and enjoy them but I've never noticed it making the garlic bulbs any bigger.
Happy gardening and thanks again.
