I usually find I miss enough bits of garlic to get free crops the
following year.
Best planted in November.
My home grown ones are small but very strong. Same for onions mostly.
If you plant in Oct or Nov you should get good sized Garlic, sounds like
your soil is lacking in something.
Isn't it Sodium that members of the onion family like?
