Rhubarb is a beautiful plant. I grow it in my front flower garden. I harvest Rhubarb from May to October by following these simple steps. 1. Cut the flower shoots from the plant before it "goes to seed." 2. Pull the stalks when you harvest being careful not to break them above the root or corm.

when you pull the rhburb can you 're plant it please answer me

I got a cotting from rhubarb will it grow from that please answer me

How can you make your stalk grow big and fat, my plants are 4 years old and still long but spindly.

Why would you make rhubarb ( with ) strawberries? By far the best pie I have ever eaten was rhubarb....

So... I just expressed the wish to plant rhubarb in my font Garden to my parents only to be met with scorn. Is there any problem with planting it in the front as opposed to the back?

Thanks for the video please can you tell me if you cut the flower off after you have pulled the stalk can you eat the rest of the stalk thank you Linda mills

I like how you simply snap it off.

what if I want to leave the flower? Will I have more plants next year?

peal and apply salt WoW so tasty !

thank you so much for sharing this important information :)

What kind of rhubarb plant is that ???

Sound advice here about rhubarb. Thanks for posting. I have always championed pulling and twisting rather than cutting, for many other crops, too (zucchini, chard and such). To get a really clean pull, move the stem sideways in the same action. Anyone worrying that they've cut their flower stems off rather than pulled them: it makes no difference. But pulling is always easier. Why try harder?

Thank you for the excellent advice!
Cheers to you!!

And when would be the best time to pick your rhubarb I don't mind is just now starting out to be like the middle of summer

The flower you just pulled out of your Rupard you don't want to cut that you want to pull it out when Ledean you too she cut hers out so guess that's why got kind of confused there so what would be the best way for me just to grab mine and pool Microlite I love rhubarb too but I've got those flowers on it so let me know

Thank you for advising about seeds on rhubarb. However I saw a video few minutes ago on this site where she said to cut the seed stalks off with a sharp knife! My husband went to do this and then we found your video so I guess my plant will now die. Why do people give such conflicting information?

thank you ,now i know why my plant snuffed it! i cut instead of pulled ...

Very informative video, thanks for sharing. I want to start a rheubarb patch for making wine, so will only need to harvest once a season, but will need large quantities. Any suggestions on how to get the plants to propagate?

Loved the hiccuping videographer!

thanks so much for posting this how about the liquor recipe please!!!
