No argument, Robert, but there are always two sides to the coin.
Garlic, I would agree, but happened upon this the other day : RHS quote - "When selecting untreated sets, choose smaller bulbs over large ones, as smaller bulbs may be more resistant to bolting (they are less mature, so have less well developed flower buds)."
And this (US University) "Sort sets into those large than a dime and those smaller. Plant the larger sets for green onions and plant the smaller ones with adequate spacing: they'll produce bigger onions."
