The weather is usually the cause. You can replant them at the proper time and often they will grow full size normal heads of garlic next season if conditions are right.The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.

I blame the weather! Some of mine was OK, and some like yours Tweet.Comment

The little round cloves are the bulbils that normally come out of the stems, but because of the weather being rubbish this year the garlic hasnt grown like it normally would.
On the bright side you can plant all the little bulbils towards the end of next month and they will grow into garlic bulbs for next year._____________
