Got mine from the Garlic farm last year, but it got rust & didn't clove properly- no reflection on the supplier, just down to the weather, I guess. But still decided to go for some cheaper bulbs this year & have ordered from King's- not much choice but good value.

My Purple Wight from Dobies arrived on Monday. Got 6 bulbs, but one of them has about 3 cloves missing disappointingly.  However, I've NEVER seen garlic that size before - wow, its enormous !

Planning to plant at the w/e.

I bought Printnor Organic and Solent White from Tuckers.  I planted them in April and have harvested a magnificent crop.  The cloves all split perfectly within the bulbs despite not being subject to any cold weather.   I may try planting a few this Autumn just in case my stored ones don't survive the winter.
