I don't know; I pull them and use them small. I've never let them grow to
full size (or at least I never thought I did, but apparently I miss some).
The biggest ones I pull up are about 1 1/2" across; quite small. But then
the greens die and I don't see them any more and apparently fail to realize
there are still some out there.

We grow it everywhere and have seen nothing of this.
I'd wonder if you're not seeing some other problem and blaming the
garlic.
Get your soil tested or test it yourself. There are kits you can buy.
Garlic's requirements are similar to onions...
...which reminds me that I have to buy some bone meal.

Forgive my ignorance. Are you referring to the other plants having a garlic
taste, or just what. Honestly, I do not understand.

You probably wouldn't understand Tiny Tim, Pat Robertson, Jeffrey
Dahmer, or George Bush either. Be happy.

One thing's for sure. I don't have a clue to understanding what the heck
your answer said.
