Maybe 40 but I did something incorrectly because they are a bit smaller than golf balls and ideally should be closer to tennis balls.

Did you plant them with a golf club or tennis racket?

Sounds like some nice size heads unless it is elephant garlic.
Last year, I had a volunteer corn stalk alongside my house. This year it's a volunteer zuccinni plant. One of the ****s is around 5". I never knew the leaves on these could get so big; w/o taking a tape measure to it, I'd guess around 15" long by 12" wide.
I have an unusually nice crop of purslane going too (whether I want it or not).
I've munched it raw, plucking some as I walk by. It's good but it's on the ground for cryin' out loud - that's waaaaaay down there, ya know? Some people like to cook with it or add it to salads, but again, there's that word... effort.
We got back from spending a week at my mom's, dogs in tow, and when we returned my Wife let me know that some rodents had gotten to the garden produce. I didn't realize how much our dogs, and mostly the Hell Mutt, act as guardians of the garden while there here. I just need to train her to leave the skunks alone and we'll be good.
The primary strawberry patch was covered and survived unscathed, at least.

That should take care of itself, I think. Unless Hell Mutt is also stupid.
Got to try out a trick I learned at Instagram at Lowes. Any torn garden bags are 50% off, ask at the gardent register and they'll give you large plastic bags to contain the contents. Here on Thursdays they clean up the shelves of broken and torn bags and move them to a 50% off pile because that's when they take pictures of the shelves. Saved a bunch.

I have a Lowes near me. I'll have to see if they do the same thing.

Golf ball sized seems about right for normal garlic.
I like the idea of tennis ball size ones though,
Those beefsteak tomatoes are delicious.
Today's harvest.
Hasta's and Bee Balm's are blooming.
What are the purple ones, Rodger?

Purslane is edible. I used to get a lot in my yard when I lived in town, but I never tried to eat it.

Harvested the basil for a fresh batch of pesto that I'll throw on some shrimp later.
Had the first tomato, basil, and green onion salad all from the garden last night.
You have a beautiful place, Rodger.

I got an update that most of the damage was from incompetent watering, not rodents.
So I guess he is a no good hoser.

I'm doing well, thank you. Though, after some serious storms a couple of my zucchini plants are not.

Took a big box of tomatoes, squash and green beans to our local food bank.
