Leek Rust

[InfraDig]

I have a pot of Musselburgh leeks that have got a lot of "rust", presumably from the garlic. Do I just throw them away?

Thanks.

If they have it at seedling stage I would....  :'(

As Saddad says if they are just seedlings then get rid of them by burning as the rust will develup faster than the growth.
If they are a decent size and the rust is on the outside leaves you could try cutting them off below the rust as you are going to loose these leves anyway.
