Hi All,
My garlic was looking very sorry for itself so I pulled up a bulb to see what might be wrong. It was very small, but seemed to have split into cloves. However, when I pulled the cloves apart, there seemed to be a small amount of mould inbetween them.
Should I pull up all the rest? They have just developed rust, and one by one, the leaves are going very yellow and withered, and I know that I'm not supposed to lift them till July, but if they die, surely there's no point in leaving them? Can I use the bed for onions again?
I've put a link to a photo, sorry, not very good:

sigh - would be grateful for advice and general cheer. Am feeling very disheartened.
