My crop of garlic has suddenly started to get covered in rust. The leaves are still green underneath. My question is "will the rust affect the bulbs or should I lift immediately? The bulbs are bulking up very nicely but I wanted to leave them another couple of weeks. Thanks...Dinger
Rust is only cosmetic, however it does really slow growth down as it takes hold. Once mine were covered, I lifted them. I can't see that another couple of weeks will be a problem.
