Beautiful roots!

How do you decide when to pull them? I've always heard that you should wait until all but five leaves die off which for me is usually early July.

Last weekend I was talking to another grower who said he and others he knows leave their garlic in the ground until mid-August in CT in order to let them bulb up more. If I wait to pull them, they start to separate and rot. When I check a few earlier than that, they seem too small.
