How to Grow Rhubarb – From Planting Crowns to Harvest
Показать описание
Rhubarb is a fantastic perennial vegetable which comes back every year. Commonly mistaken for a fruit due to its common occurrence in a popular desert, Rhubarb crumble.
Rhubarb crowns can be purchased in autumn and late winter. These crowns are established root nodules with a shooting bud. These can be planted in the ground or even in a pot. For best results plant crowns in a well prepared planting bed and mulched to suppress weeds.
Planting areas benefit from well rotted manure and a general purpose fertiliser. Rhubarb once planted will be in the ground for a long time so it is important to work the soil well.
Rhubarb can also be grown from seed however plants can take a long time to build up strength to be harvested in this way. Rhubarb is a perfect crop for permaculture projects or forest gardens.
Whether grown in the ground or container Rhubarb can tolerate cold temperatures and partial shade. This makes them a perfect crop for temperate climates such as the UK, Europe and America.
