Rhubarb explosion
The tyre garden for asparagus and rhubarb was a bit of an experiment born out of necessity. It seems to be working OK, though. Here was one of the brand-new rhubarb plants back on May 4th:

Wow, looks like it's VERY happy there! I'm itching to pick rhubarb too, but have to wait because I divided the crowns this spring.
Looks like the rhubarb is working out...I had to get some rhubarb plants this year. We dug some from another garden and I was told it's pretty hard to get it to not grow.
Can't wait 'til I can actually use it though -- just like a new raspberry plant, requires so much patience!
I don't know. I think I would let it be this year, and wait until next year. You will be glad you did when you see how well it does next spring. It is tempting though, I know. Mmmm, I can just smell it cooking!
OK Barbee, I promise on my gardener's honour that I won't touch it this year. I'll have to make do with giving it admiring glances every so often!
