I grew 12 varieties, but the average would have been about 8 bulbs per pound. The Creole are smaller, a couple of the hardneck and softneck would have averaged close to 1/4 lb. per bulb, so that's a pretty close estimate. Since I sell my garlic, at least what I don't want for myself, the size of the bulbs becomes pretty important to me. The larger bulbs lose no taste and pungency compared to the smaller bulbs. Of course, nothing is like the Creole, so if I grow it, I just have to accept its smaller size.
