Just been having a look around the veg plot. I spotted that the leaves on my garlic plants had flopped over and starting to turn brown. I thought they were just dying off and were ready to be lifted. On close inspection though the leaves werent brown but orange with what appears to be a kind of rust fungus.
I need to know what to do now, as i have never come across rust on an allium before. They are ready for lifting so how will the rust affect how i lift and store/use the garlic? Will I be able to store it at all without fear of speading the rust to future crops?
Please help.
