Title: Rust on garlic
Post by: mwncigirl on July 05, 2012, 01:33:41 pm

Hi! My lovely garlic has started to get rust. I don't feel its really ready to pull yet the leaves haven't died back and the bulbs not properly swollen. Its only on one patch but i suspect the others will get it soon.


Should I cut my losses and pull it up? Thanks

i would leave them, they should be starting to finish now, rust doesnt do any harm.
