    I thought no-one would know what it was! I'm giving it to my Gran for her 80th birthday in May, she's always trying to grow rhubarb but it doesn't seem to like our Scottish climate...

    :T congrats on the prize, I'm sure I remember my dad used to use old chimney pots or chipped and discarded drain pipe (the bigger round ones from underground) and even a bucket without a bottom in it all with straw to keep the frost off. So your Gran will be very posh with the proper thing. Hope it works for her rhubarb.

  • I won one too!!!

    I thought it was a washing machine the box was so big. My boyfriend thinks I'm barmy and the whole family have been in stitches!
    Its from a gardening magazine comp. There are a list of comps each month and you tick the boxes to enter them all.

    We are hoping to be able to tip it over and use it as a plant pot as it is well-made!

    well done :D
  • Yes you read right, I won a Rhubarb Forcer which is a big terracotta pot with a lid on it! It's really heavy and was in a box about 4 foot tall, I wasn't sure if there was a person inside :)


    LOL:rotfl:

    OH WELL...well done anyway, you might find an alternative use for it.
