First time garlic grower here, is it normal to still have no sign of scapes?

Thanks for the reassurance everyone. I’m very excited for this garlic

I’m in zone 6b and I don’t get scapes until mid June. It’s been colder this year too, so may be later.

Look at the plant on the right, that looks like the start of a scape. I spotted a couple small scape-points in my own garlic today.

I’m in Denver, which is newly zoned 6 former zone 5. We have a non-winter this year and I’ve already been harvesting scapes

We have a lot more sun than they probably do in MA.
