Default rhubarb plants & bunching onion

I know this isn't a seed but I figured it would be ok. We moved into our house in september and it has this huge rhubarb patch (its beyond just a plant) I have been giving chunck away and replanted some for myself in a different spot but still have loads There are some tiny ones that I could post but If you live near swindon you'd probably be better of picking some up.

I also have a fair amount of bunching onion could send a small amount but again if you live closeby you're welcome to pick some up.
I'm looking for open polinating seeds. I have been given some seeds but most are hybreds and I would like open polinating so I can save seed for the next year since budget is very tight.

Thanks!

Ooh! Ooh! I wouldn't say no to either and I'm between Wootton Bassett and Calne.
I think I'm going to show myself up as completely thick, but can you tell me what you mean by 'open polinating seeds'?

And welcome to the forum by the way!

Maybe not the right phrase in english I translated it literally I'm dutch
I mean the sort that is true that when you save the seeds at the end of the season you can use them again and won't get any funny business like you do with hybred where you get odd shapes colours etc
I have a link somewhere from an online supplier
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/why.html I think this site can explain it better than I can
You're welcome to come over and pick some up my email address is in my profile to sort out a time.

I'll pm you all a bit later. Will be able to send plants out tomorrow.

I'm not after anything particular since I'm still new to all of this but I have lots of time and lots of land to fill so I'm keen to try anything
