Give me a chance, I'm in work!  ::) :D

Seriously, though, can I put them in the ground now or should I leave it a couple of weeks?

I put mine in in january and got my fist leaf showing through at last saturday  :)
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I dug mine up and chopped it up about a week ago and got the bits planted a couple of days ago. They were sprouting nicely til a chook decided to make a mess of the bed! :ohmy:
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

Mine went into 12" pots about 3 weeks ago, outside. Few shoots on each.
Rhubarb bed should be finished this weekend so will plant there the following weekend.
