You jest. Have you read the link I sent?

Not that I or anybody has them but just something to be aware of spreading.

If you mean this link then it would make sense to quote it.

NB Leaf mines on leeks, onions, shallots and ornamental Allium species in the West Midlands are likely to be caused by the recently arrived allium leaf-mining fly. See www.defra.gov.uk/planth/pestnote/allium-info.pdf

OH no.

Just when I thought I was getting a grip of this allotment business, now I find out that there's a new thing to kill my onions and shallots. AND it lives near me :shock:

That's nothing. I'm having similar looking dotted chewing marks on a few welsh onion leaves. I shall try to take a (small) photo later on.

Managed to take some very bad piccies, so I don't know what you can see on there, but here it goes.

gobs · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2007, 18:40 »

So, if you can see anything in there, what do you think? Am I like medical student on learning about a new disease, feeling like the symptoms and this is just leek moth.

Thanks.

Well, I thought you were going to say that. I didn't. Overly eager, I tried to take a way too close-up. I shall try again, not now though as I somehow completely racked a wrist, so not getting anywhere at the mo. Garlic is in though, so rest can wait. :roll:

Thanks for looking, anyhow.

:oops: Try bettering it.
