After 8 months in the ground.

Not very impressive are they. 

Depends on the variety too. I've done 3 varieties, Marco, Iberian Wight and Thermidrome, all planted on the same day last year. The Marco are ready first and are smallest, Iberian will be next and they're bigger, and Thermidrome will be last but are by far the biggest. It's about the same way they came in last year. I've given up on growing Solent Wight because I never got anything bigger than a tiddler.

Not unless you keep ostriches  .

Nearly too subtle for me, but not quite!   

Hhhmmmmmmm  may compromise your garlic bread noshing there    Mine are not great but hoping to get through the winter at least before having to buy.  Just a pain peeling fiddly little cloves 

Poor Lardman. All I can say is, don't eat them all at one sitting 

They don't even warrant sitting for...  no cheesy garlic bread for me.

Concrete the beds - now there's an idea ! 

If there's no rust on the leaves, you can leave them until they start to yellow. If you have rust, but no yellowing leaves, then you could leave them a bit longer but keep a close eye on the rust and how fast it spreads. If things get iffy, pull the garlic and salvage what you can. Remember that rust spreads through spores so careful how you handle those leaves to not spread more rust on your plot, paths and other places it could be carried back.
