I was looking at my onions Friday and thinking I ought to give them a feed.....yesterday I got some BFB to feed them, Allium Leaf Miner had beat me to it,  160 onions with  collapsed twisted leaves.

Gardening can break your heart sometimes

Sorry Boss. Do you often have trouble with Leaf miners?

Never before....leeks are going under enviromesh cages and onions will be next year, I had a walk round and it appears to be focussed on about 8 plots

Sorry boss , that really is a heart breaker.

Can you put photos of the damage on the pest thread please. I’ve never seen them. I don’t know what to look for.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

HeartbreakingSad We get it here. Such a pain having to cover everything. I'm not good at netting/cages etc but it seems we need them more and more. Pigeons have just stripped my 3 gooseberry bushes. I dug the rest up because I wasn't getting any and just missed the boat trying to cover these.
