Having grown the same variety of garlic for years, I decided to try growing a lot of new varieties, to see how they compare. I was pleasantly surprised how well some of the varieties grew, but disappointed that the bulbs that I had been saving for so many years did not produce a lot more that the new bulbs I bought in.
