Out of interest Goodlife..... If that's ok...
When you say it'll take a few years to get them to a good size, it confuses me a bit. Not that I don't start the day confused anyway.
So, say I have 5 smallish cloves. I plant those and get five garlic bulbs which turn the five cloves into fifty. Are you saying those fifty new cloves will be bigger that the five planted the year before?...... And so on until you end up planting cloves as big as the variety will produce and getting full-sized bulbs the same.
Its all very confusing to a numpty. ;D
