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.

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?
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
Hostas
Thanks, Peter.

My wife would think she was in heaven there.

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.
