I am very new to both gardening and veg growing so was a bit slow on the uptake with this!
My Hollyhocks (planted from seed last year) have all developed rust. Some worse than others. I have taken off the dead leaves and pulled the occasional dead plant but it seems to be spreading to my garlic and broad beans. 
Will it effect the bulbs and beans? And more importantly will it spread to other veg on the plot?

As I recall it, rust is very host-specific so should not transfer to other types of plants.

And hollyhocks are very rust prone, so i wouldn't worry too much.

Thanks Yorkie! both my neighbour and I were beginning to think it was gonna take over all our veg! Ignorance is sometimes not bliss!!!
