    hi all I was sorting out the compost heap on my newly acquired allotment and found this sprig of rhubarb the base had some roots on.
    It looked ok so I planted it up, do you think it will grow?

    Yep, probably will, this is one I potted up a few weeks back :)

    Accidentally cut the root just below the soil.

        Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
