Do you mean some of the leaves are turning yellow?

Mine get rust every year, doesn't seem to affect the resulting bulbs
I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things; right now I am so far behind I will never die.

This crops (ha-ha) up every year.

The rust on the leaves does not affect the bulbs or the storage qualities.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My garlic also suffers from rust, I do try to remove the outer leaves initially but in the end, I give up and the garlic never seems to suffer adversely from the rust.
Read about my allotment exploits at Ecodolly at plots 37 & 39.  Questions, queries and comments are appreciated at Comment on Ecodolly's exploits on plots 37 & 39
