    Hello, everyone. I am looking forward to sharing in the Forum. I am particularly interested in ornamentals (shrubs, climbers, herbaceous, etc.) but am hoping to increase my veggie-in-container growing from successful strawberries and cherry tomatoes to include potatoes this year. Have failed so far with rhubarb (in the ground), blueberries and cucumbers. Now you know I have much to learn. I hope to be able to help other people stumped along the way over things I do know!

    Hi Tess. Welcome to GC. I'm worried about anyone who can fail with rhubarb :confused: I thought you just put it in the ground and covered it with manure. Of course I'm no good with rhubarb either. :D

    [​IMG] to the group Tesserae.

    We all fail at something or other while other people find our problem so easy to grow it can be quite maddening at times.....lucky for you there is always someone on here that knows a trick or two and as Terrier had already said 'we will have you growing rhubarb in no time at all'....well we will if your plant it!
