Onions and garlic

I have harvested and cured all of the garlic. Much better crop than before. The potato onions were planted two different times. (Last Oct./Nov.) I harvested them a couple of weeks ago and they were not that great.

I had many little ones left in the spring - so I planted 4 squares. I just harvested them today - way better than the ones I harvested a couple of weeks ago. I think it is possible that where I live it might be better to plant them in the early spring instead of the late autumn.

I've never had potato onions larger than a large marble. This year, once they died off a few weeks ago, I left them in the MM hoping they'll get bigger. They are still in there.

I have a lot of small one too. Those will be planted to make the larger ones next spring. I will keep a few larger ones so that they make some babies. I hope this makes sense.

Since this year, I have decided not to plant any in the fall.

Somewhere on this forum I recall that someone mentioned planting the garlic in the same squares as were used this year. Is that so? I may have seen it before but don't remember where. Will be planting in about 1 or 2 months.
