I hope that your garlic-vacation tempers the rust population so that you can conquer it.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-19824178079524279292011-04-23T00:48:15.846-07:002011-04-23T00:48:15.846-07:00Infuriating, isn't it?

I get it so badly I'm giving up garlic for a few seasons to see if the rust spores will lessen in my soil.Soilmanhttp://www.soilman.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-81733990115314392292011-04-21T19:00:33.063-07:002011-04-21T19:00:33.063-07:00The Good Soup: Uuuuuuuuh, indeed.

I shake my fist at their tiny little bodies!<br /><br />Say What?: You'd be able to see if your garlic is sick--the curly leaves are a tell tale symptom. I'd read up on the disease too, and found the same results, but there are just no aphids on my alliums. And, in my fight against slugs this year, I've dusted the whole bed several times with DE. I really think that I received some sick garlic this year, and the sowbugs, slugs, or millipedes did the spreading. I hope all is growing well for you--I look forward to reading about your harvest this year.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-70656346322027783922011-04-18T15:09:18.331-07:002011-04-18T15:09:18.331-07:00We're having a cooler and wetter than average ...We're having a cooler and wetter than average spring. I know the garlic bed needs weeding, but now I'm going to have to take a closer look at the garlic! A quick Google of your suspected disease turns up aphids as the most likely vector. I'd look for, or just treat for those little buggers. Evidently the disease doesn't spread plant to plant. It travels by insect or mechanical inoculation. I'd be breaking out some DE and dusting everything!say what?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03475632508690095259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-70661490874828025542011-04-18T03:29:44.046-07:002011-04-18T03:29:44.046-07:00Yum.
