I love rhubarb. It is extremely easy to grow. In fact, if you are not careful it will take over your entire garden. It is for this very reason that we grow ours in two large pots. We had them on the patio and that was fine....popping out to pick it fresh for a pudding was a great thing to be able to do. Then the pots got moved, I thought to two paving stones , but it turned out the tubs were on the garden. One day I went to move the tubs back to their original position and as i picked up the first tub i heard a ' crack ' The roots had gone through the bottom of the tub and were now growing in the garden. The plants looked for a while as though they had died, I was sad as they had produced delicious rhubarb.....but ....they are both now growing healthily again. Do you grow any fruits or vegetables

@traceyjayne I never grown rhubarb but I might give it a go. Now I have potatoes, radishes, chioggia beetroot and spinach on the go. And garlic.

I have never had rhubarb, but I’d like to try it if I get the opportunity.

It is so easy to grow. Does not take very long and you can eat it raw or cooked.

I am going to plant some vegetables for our niece. We're house-sitting at her place at the moment.
