All the top growth has died off, but the bulbs are very small. Am I right
in thinking they won't get any bigger if left in the ground?

Yes, without the green tops to provide food they cannot get bigger. We have
had a good crop of Garlic this year despite losing some to White Rot and the
heads are a reasonable size, bigger than supermarket size although not as
big as usual, despite getting bad rust late on. When did you plant yours?
What varieties did you grow?
