Garlic Flower?

Hi,

One of my elephant garlic has started to grow a spike from the middle, I presume this is going to turn into a flower.

Should I let it grow and turn into a flower or should I nip it off so as to direct all the growing power into the garlic bulb?

Thanks

Dawn

It is a scape (and is edible). Nip it out below the flowerhead.
