I have read that the rust spores exist in the soil, and are conveyed to plants after heavy rains; the spores are moved to the plant from the splash resulting from large raindrops hitting the soil near the plant. The solution: put a few inches of high quality compost on the garden soil to act as a barrier and break the cycle of rust infection. I think you have to do the compost layer first thing in the spring when plants are put out in the ground. Might be worth a try?

Whew, talk about major hijacking of a thread! LOL
