Trim the bulb and the ends off of the garlic scapes and put them in a food processor or blender with the scallions, ends trimmed as well, lemon juice, nuts and parmesan cheese. Process, drizzling in the olive oil in increments. Check the pesto every so often while adding the olive oil until you've reached the texture and flavor intensity that suits you.
