Looks good, Sandy. There is probably no practical way of knowing whether large cloves equals large bulbs. You could have segregated plots as far as spacing though. When I started growing garlic I spaced my cloves way too far apart. I think I spaced them at 5" centers. Over the years I have closed that spacing and last year I spaced them at 3" centers. I think I will go for 2" centers this fall. I haven't seen any difference as far as bulb size, narrowing that spacing. For me at least, having too much rain during the 3-4 final weeks, caused lower yields (smaller bulbs). I think a cool spring also contributed to lower yields as well. I agree, you should be planting your garlic a few weeks earlier.
