Rhubarb in the garden

Rhubarb is a welcome sight in early spring when it is young and full of flavour.
Plant rhubarb in well prepared soil where garden compost or farm yard manure has been added.
Plant timberely early for excellent red sticks which are ready for picking very early in spring.
Rhubarb stools should be rewarded in winter with a dressing of garden compost mulched around the base of the plant.
Horkys tip: after planting feed and water young rhubarb stools for two seasons before pulling any sticks and avoid taking any sticks after July.
