My beautiful statuesque Garlic plants have come over all rusty :'(
Is there anything I can spray on them to kill the rust or can I cut off the offending leaves?? I don't want to pull them yet as I've checked and the bulbs are only golf ball sized.
Any crumbs from your collective table of knowledge would be gratefully received.
BTW, my courgettes are now taking off like rockets....little green buggers coming out of my ears ;D

Join the rest of us dingerbell! ;D  Mine look more rust than green!!  It doesn't seem to affect the garlic though, and have just pulled all mine out to make room for other stuff, and I have a wonderful crop of garlic this year. My advice would be to leave alone and let them do what they gotta do! ;D 
Good on the courgette front! Courgette cake is lovely!DP

Once they are showing the symptoms - it's a bit late.

At this time of year probably lifting them and destroying the tops to help get rid of the source of the disease for others is the best you can do
