How do I grow rhubarb?
Easy to grow, rhubarb appreciates a semi-shaded spot in the vegetable garden or backyard, as well as rich, cool, deep soil. Take the time to choose the right spot, as rhubarb is a large-scale perennial.
- Prepare the soil before planting, incorporating well-decomposed manure or compost.
- Plant rhubarb in spring, in March or April, in cooler climates, or in autumn, in October, in warmer climates.
- Space plants 1 m apart in all directions.
- Pack well around the plants.
- Water and mulch.
Water regularly throughout the season, especially in hot, dry weather. Cut off flowering stems as soon as they appear, to avoid exhausting the plant.
When to pick rhubarb?
Harvest rhubarb stalks in May and June, and in autumn in regions with humid climates, as needed or in a single harvest.
Cut two-thirds of the best stems flush with the ground to give the plant time to regenerate, and harvest a second crop in September.
