I saw a seed head on one of ours the other day. Should I pinch it off?

 Onion Fly     Yellow, drooping leaves and a tunnels in the plant tissue
 Leek Moth    White streaks on the leaves.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

Dont dig them out, they will recover and you will still get a crop from them
