I bet that the smaller heads you get keep better.
not really. Anyone who grows garlic knows enough to stop watering two
weeks from harvest. If, like in my case, the garlic is interplanted
with lettuce or chicory, that will help dry the ground further. The
smaller heads will just be smaller.
My experience is that garlic doesn't like it dry. It needs water to
produce a good sized bulb. If you are farming a dry area with limited
water availability you might consider drip lines with your garlic to
minimize water useage.
