Rhubarb
Well hello again just seen my rhubarb plants I get quiet excited by it when I see the red shoots suddenly appear then burst into leaf. I have 10 plants in total, 4 that I was given, 2 that move here with us and 4 I grew from seed that was passed on to me. They are all doing well but last year they all had big seed heads on them which I had never seen before. Has yours had this? The stems did not do to well either, all I made was 2 crumbles with them, so I am hoping for a lots more this year. In the hot spells I put sheep wool fleece around them to keep the moisture in it does seem to do the job. Have you got any good recipes for using rhubarb?

I am growing Rhubarb for the first time ever, I have no idea what it is supposed to do or look like. Will you keep posting pictures so I can see if mine is doing the right thing? Is yours in the shade. Mine is in full sun right now and I noticed that the leaves look a little burned. Thanks I love to see your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will post some more pictures so you can see how it is growing. Once it starts growing it tends to grow very quickly. Mine is in full sunlight also. Happy rhubarb growing.
ReplyDeleteyou really cant go wrong with a rhubarb crumble its just the best and even better when you knowou have grown it.

Hi Stacy
DeleteYes Rhubarb is very tasty. You are well ahead of me with tomatoes (I just dropped by your blog.
Happy gardening.
I am a horrendous rhubarb grower! i keep planting it and only last year, did I get about 2 stalks. This year, I don't see any sign of life, but I bought yet some more. this is the last try. Anyway, I always love strawberry and rhubarb pie!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy
DeleteDon't give up on the rhubarb. Last year was a bad year for it. Good luck with growing some more.
