    Mine have been small too, grown in the polytunnel, planted last October. Last year was rubbish but 2012 was an amazing, bumper crop, I don't think I bought any garlic for at least 6 months and we use loads.

    Tommyknocker, not all garlic is equal by any stretch, cheap garlic lacks any juiciness IMO.

    Don't know what all the kerfuffle is about when you could buy 5 for 69p in Aldi recently. I notice garlic is also very cheap in lots of other stores.

    Cue the brigade of . . . "there's more satisfaction growing your own".

    Its a bit like going onto a homebrew forum and telling people you can buy four tins of Skol for a quid at Tesco!
