I dug up one of my garlic bulbs today (couldn't help myself...too
impatient).

The bulb was, of course, small and not well-formed, but the thing that
struck me was that it appeared wrinkly and not full-fleshed. It was
kind of soft.

Does this have anything to do with my watering habits? I only water
the garlic infrequently since I'm wary of making the ground so soggy
that it would tend toward rotting the bulbs.
