I've seen it mentioned on here a few times that this is caused by not submitting it to a cold cycle over winter, but my experience this year seems to contradict this. Half my garlic was planted into the ground in October and has cloved and produced nice big bulbs. The other half were planted in trays and forgotten about outside until the end of March when I chucked them next to the existing garlic. They were very pot bound and much smaller than the direct planted ones, but nothing to lose. These have all produced single clove garlic, so it looks like this is just a reaction to poor growing conditions rather than a lack of frost.

Usefull to know as I quite like single clove garlic as it's less fiddly.

You can always save some single ones for next year and if they split will produce BIG ones next year!
