1. My rhubarb has green stems & not red. It seems healthy. Is that OK or should i be doing something to it?

2. I am looking for a cylindrical wire trellis to contain & support tomato bushes. I have had one for ages & haven't been able to find anyone selling them. The one I have is about 900cm high and 30cm in diameter & is 4 wire supports with 4 or 5 wire rings going round it.

Jocelyn I can't help you with your rhubarb question but I had the same problem trying to find and purchase cages for my Epiphyllums...and when I did they were way too expensive for the number I required. So I purchased some wire from the hardware shop and made my own. I have a picture in the website photo gallery under Marlene's Album.

As a last resort you could thy making them.
