I usually plant cloves of garlic between roses to discourage pests;

However, when the foliage dries out and droops and I dig up the garlic,
it's never a full head with cloves. Just one Tiny.
What am I doing wrong?
Or is this the way it's supposed to be?

Don't know where you are - but in the Pacific NW, we generally plant the
garlic around Oct 1.
HTH-
I am downstate from you. I guess I thought "mild, Mediterranean
climate" would signal So. Calif. coastal.
I have been coordinating garlic planting to pruning the roses. Do
you do that as well? Should I be doing it? Following David Ross's
comment, maybe I should NOT.
Because after pruning roses, I would not feed them. But I would,
selon lui, need to feed the garlic. Sounds like I am slowly thinking
myself into planting garlic earlier. Yes? No?
