Default Tiny garlic yield

I always plant garlic cloves between my roses. They seem to be
effective in keeping off pests.

But when the garlic tops die and I lift the new heads, they are so
tiny! Pathetic.

Any relevant experience out there?

TIA


Do you feed themand water them if it is dry? You need good healthy tops to
grow big juicy bulbs.

Do you plant them in the right season for your climate?

How long is the time from planting to tops dying?

How deep do you plant them?
