            Rhubarb has reached the top of the frame :) DSCI0004 (9).JPG

            The leaves cut the light out and will slightly blanch the next sticks coming up, hopefully that'll give me the edge to get a 1st prize hat trick in the show :fingers crossed: DSCI0005 (10).JPG

              Sorted the Garlic out, probably not bothering with Jumbo Garlic next year, most of em didn't divide up.

              These will be my entry for the show, not sure if I should tie the tops with raffia?

                Same with a lot of my Elephant Garlic that have finished early this year, with most bulb ending up as 'rounds' and only a few dividing into cloves.
