    I don't know about anyone else, but when I get a pack of seed I sow the lot. Thing is, what do you do with 32 Victoria rhubarb plants:o 3.jpg

    OK a quick update on the veg plot, The green house now has varieties of toms and peppers, cucumbers, little gems and chili's

    http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll307/TrevorLloyd_uk/DSC00082.jpg

    I've cleared the back of the garden and made some raised beds

    There's still quite a bit to do, I'm putting a crazy paved path from the shed, around the back of the veg plots back to the gate.

    And the whole lot so far has cost me around £10 to £15, thats the green house, shed, slabs and crazy paving (not including the plants, pots and compost)......:D :D:D
