Rhubarb reminds me of my childhood days when we had some in the garden on a help yourself basis, yummy dipped in sugar, but rather just have custard with it these days.
Can't you salvage the cabbage and cauliflower Fly looks like you might if you pricked them out in the main garden?

They're all about a foot high now, don't really care TBH, they were spare ones from the fatha in law  ;)

I can see they look 'drawn' sometimes they can be salvaged though

Won't lose any sleep over them OC.

Genuine offer on the Rhubarb plant though.
Apparently I can halve it and pass half on. Not sure what month we should do this ?
