The Allium Leafminer
Here's a recent article about another insect gardeners should be on the lookout for. Although the allium leafminer has become a serious problem with edible alliums, I am seriously concerned about alliums which have become so popular in our flower gardens. Purple Sensation, Globemaster, the blue allium, A.caeruleum, the yellow allium, A. moly, and A. cristophii are examples.
If you see examples of this troublesome insect in your gardens, otify your Department of Agriculture.
