Last year I purchased 2 bulbs if Caulk Wight from the Garlic Farm. The bulbs were what I consider 'normal'  size ie what you would purchase from shop for culinary purposes. There were approx 8 cloves per bulb. These were duly planted late October on raised bed topdressed with half a grow bag and chicken pellets. The bed had never held garlic before. Previous year had been onions and cauliflowers. After a winter of total neglect the resultant growth was harvested on 27 July. 15 bulbs were lifted but surprisingly these appeared in size and flavour to elephant garlic which I would have been delighted with had I actually liked the stuff. Does anyone have any idea how 15/16 tiny cloves could have not only become-so huge but changed species?  Garlic Farm did suggest I left the bulbs in for too long and diluted the flavour which I have refuted as that would not have chaned the specie from the parent plant. Any ideas/theories greatly received.
