Mines started developing a leaf and a more shoots are appearing. it was only a small potted plant last year it went mad when had about 5 picking from it, its got the best spot in the garden full sun all day.

 

Yoo hoo @ElaineTP Thank you - just ordered my rhubarb

 

Hey Tetters - where did you order it from - are Hayloft still running that promotion?

 

The old saying of "One man's meat is another mans poison is very true". When I moved to our current home there was an enormous patch of Rhubarb about 6ft square.The leaves could grow to about 4 ft across. As none of us like Rhubarb I tried digging it out...failed. Nothing for it but to use Roundup. Six yes 6 applications later I had managed to kill it. If only I had known of GC then I would have offered chunks of it to anybody who wanted some, altho the postage would have been gigantic

 

They were when I ordered it - it`s not been delivered yet though.

 

Will rhubarb be ok under a bucket in warm weather please, might be able to get enough for a pie soon .

 

Looking good Martin. I know where to go for my rhubarb for my crumble

 

What you are doing is known as "forcing" - excluding light from rhubarb plants and keeping them warmer causes them to crop earlier and produce sweeter stems

 

Just noticed you are from Sheffield - forcing rhubarb is massive in West Yorkshire where the traditionalists harvest it by candlelight!!

 

A few fields i metal detect not too far from my location are full of copper buttons, reason being years ago they used to use old clothes to cover the crowns.

 

What do i do with it now please the longest one is touching the bucket.
