Will-do. Have you tried pre-treating your cloves prior to planting? I didn't last year, but based on advice from Karen @ wegrowgarlic, I did an overnight soak in a kelp mixture and then a three minute dunk in either isopropyl or strong vodka just prior to planting. It's said to help with disease - though I don't think there's any scientific evidence.
