My leeks had rust last year Gunners, but only a very few of them weren't edible - and I think that was more to do with rot than rust. They've got rust again this year even though they are in a different plot. Also my garlic was very rusty but it hasn't affected the bulbs.

I don't know if there is anything you can do about it, so I don't worry about it!
