Growing Rhubarb

zombiepaw · 2012-10-16 10:30:48

It's almost time to plant rhubarb. It’s much easier to plant part of a divided rhubarb plant which are known as rhubarb crowns. The best time to put in Rhubarb crowns is late Autumn – early Winter. November and December are perfect for starting off your new plants. Here is a good blog post on growing rhubarb.

Nice article, and rhubarb is so easy to grow. Best variety I have in the garden are three crowns. No idea of what type they are, but the originals came down to Connemara from Meath in the 30's
