Someone above also said that you get more cloves per pound with small bulbs which equals more plant. More plants bigger harvest. Also any garlic you buy will take a few years to adjust to your climate and growing culture. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your garlic this year bought or not!

Yep, I agree. If you look at the bulb of garlic in the middle of the middles picture you will see it is broken, I broke it as I dug it...oops! it was a rather narrow bulb but it has 4 really nice cloves. I plan to replant this one.
