A scape is what happens when an onion (or garlic!) "goes to seed." These huge ones you see in these photos probably aren't tender enough to eat, so I'll leave them and experiment with collecting their seeds.
There were several smaller scapes that seemed nice and tender, and a few more that should be perfect in a couple days.
You could cut them up for a stir-fry. I'll probably cut them into very small pieces and saute them to add to a rice dish.
It just goes to show that, in the right climate, nature keeps doing her thing. Volunteer tomatoes appear, plants survive harsh conditions, and a neglected onion offers forth new bounty past its prime.
