The garlic has been severely affected by rust this year so I pulled it all up yesterday. The bulbs themselves seem unaffected but I understand that I will need to use the garlic 'wet' rather than allowing it to dry for storage. Luckily the onions and shallots growing nearby seem to be unaffected and are fattening up nicely with all the wet weather we are having.

Rust was a real pain this year. All of my garlic got it.
And I've had it on mine as well! The bulds didn't seem affected at all though so I'm going to keep a close eye on them and store as many as I can.
