Title: Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb
Post by: GafferGamgee on March 07, 2007, 22:23

Just looking around the plot today, mainly to decide which stuff will go where, and my nephew spotted what he thought was a few sprouts of rhubarb in a neglected corner that I haven't got around to digging yet.

Just a few (5 or so) bright red sprouting stalks with curled up green leaves just emerging.

What (if anything) do I do with it???

I aquired a rhubarb patch when we bought this house, but it was pretty old and neglected. I thought it had had it so started to dig it out, only half done so its abig hole but in doing so i cut through most of the roots, so inadvertantly i split the crowns, now theres several nice fresh shoots coming up :D
