Any one got more rust than me?

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

This is this years garlic, Solent Wight, Purple Wight and Albigensian Wight. This year has been horrid for Rust but the first clove of Purple Wight was large and juicy so not effected.

I have lost a few to white rot though :evil:

Yes, mine was worse, and it only appeared over a space of a few days. I dug it all up on sunday, and I was all orange. Yuk! :o
