New to gardening I was digging over a patch of garden to put spuds in. I discovered what I thought was an old bit of rubbery, orange, plastic tube, about 1.5cm in diameter. As I "followed" it I realised that it was an old root as there aren't any plants near it. The root split length-ways easilly and was white with orange stripes. My spade cut through it easilly. Any ideas? (Is it something nasty???)
Hi, Thanks fot that. I have dug the root up and traced it 25 feet to a rhubab plant on the neighbours side of the fence!
Never heard or seen anything like that before. How big was the Rhubarb? Would love to see a pic of the monster.
