Lifting some leeks between snow showers, I noticed that some of them were infected with allium leaf miner, their larvae obviously all around them. I have always grown my leeks from seed, and it is the first time that I have seen this pest in Glasgow. Last year my garlic, onions and shallots were superb, the best that I have ever grown. Looks as if it was the second hatching of the allium leaf miner flies that infected my leeks in the Autumn.
Has anyone else seen them infecting crops in Glasgow??
