what about rust on chives guys....................we had it last year on the same bunch of chives, cut em down and they came back beautiful this year, flowered and were wonderful but in the last week all three bunches of chives in 3 different parts of the garden have sprouted rust ..............should i just dig em and start again next year, cut em down again or ignore it

I'm wondering if there is a flag problem or if you just don't know ........bright ideas pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Weather conditions apparently. Nowt to be done about but you could try an application of potash, or wood ash off the bonfire. If they look horrible, cut em back Del. I cut mine back and they're back better than ever.

With onions you rotate them whereas chives you generally don't so maybe they need planting in a new spot.

cheers Wards.............thanks me duck

All my garlic's got rust, and I looked it up and apparently it's cos of all the rain we've had
Some advice is to leave it, and some to dig it all straight away and burn it
What do I doooooooo?

I'm just leaving mine and hoping that it is ready soon.

Thanks Jags
ok Ady, doing the same as you then
