Growing Rhubarb

View the Rhubarb page

01 Mar 15 Ian Hitchman (Australia - temperate climate)
I had a very healthy rhubarb plant growing extremely well for 18 months. Have been picking beautiful stalks for the past 4months. All of a sudden during a patch of hot weather (33 to 36 deg c) the plant has died. Was the weather just too hot or have I done something wrong. I thought I was giving it plenty of TLC.
