Growing Rhubarb

View the Rhubarb page

25 Jan 15 Gordo (Australia - temperate climate)
When I was a young child in Scotland my 'job' was to empty the teapot on the rhubarb patch. I don't think it ever got any fertilizer as that was another of my occasional 'jobs' on other parts of the garden. The plants were cut back before the snow and covered with buckets until spring. We had mountains of the rhubarb for most of the year as well as jam in the cold part.
