How about the cricketer Graham Onions?

Or the actor Sean Bean?

    Ah yes, of course. Sadly, not personal friends. And we'd have to add Mr Bean to that list, too.

    Of course, there's that very popular kids character Mr Potato Head, too, but now I'm getting into dangerous cartoon territory! Who knows where this could take us.....

    I have been told by my neighbour that rhubarb should not be picked after July.
    I have some lovely stems ready to harvest, but feel reluctant to pick them if what my neighbour says is true -or is it just an old wives tale? Does anyone know the answer? I was really looking forward to a rhubarb crumble!

    Can anyone advise me (a new veg gardener)? I grew some lovely garlic and onions and some of the garlic produced some tiny little heads at the top of the stems. They are just like tiny little cloves. Also one of my onions produced seeds. I have collected them but am unsure what/how/when to plant them? Help please.

    The tiny little heads at the tops of the garlic stems can be stir-fried when they're young & tender.The French call them rocamboles. They're the flower stems of hardneck garlic, and very nice. Softneck garlics don't produce them.
