Agree 99.999999 percent!
A big ole squash grew near one side of the garlic bed, preventing scaping. The bulbs harvested (today) were about half the size of the bulbs where I could reach over and cut them. (Three week rule employed)
I will plan the layout more generously and pay close attention to timing next year.
