    Help please

    Hi everyone,
    I have some karmen onion sets, can I put them in the ground now, do I start them off in the conservatory(un heated) in cells or am I a bit too eager to get going? The ground has had mustard green manure grown and dug in about a month ago will this be ok also will the same ground be ok for turnips or beetroot later on?
    Also on my newly aquired allotment I have found some brilliant rhubarb shoots coming through(loads), they were covered over in the winter with black poly waiting for the ground to be dug about now. I would love to keep it but don't really know how to look after it. The many buds are about 1" above the ground.
    Can anyone help me please.

    On the onions, you could start them off in modules now or just wait until weather/ground conditions improve..Most people don't put onion sets in the ground until March or so...

    Rhubarb..someone more knowledgeable that me will be along on that one
    I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

      it mostly looks after it's self,however,keep a look out for any flower shoots,and either pull or cut them off,as they will weaken the plants,also do not strip any one plant off all it's stalks,always leave the smaller ones,and did you know,you can also use the leaves in a garden brew,if you have a little search on here/google,you will find out what i am on about,another thing,ypu only eat the stem part,the rooty bit thats on the end after pull it up and the green leafes are poisanouse to eat,

        If you have loads of new shoots on your rhubarb, it sounds like an established plant. At the end of the season ask one of the plot holders if it is worth splitting (dividing), that way you can get 3 or 4 extra plants.
