I make rhubarb Gin !!!
Which rhubarb variety should I grow for the most intense rhubarb flavor please ?
(intensity of flavor is the most important thing .. but a strong red colour is also good)

Can I plant my rhubarb seeds directly in to my 5 gallon bucket container now (October), and if so what is the optimum spacing?

Just harvested my seed so will go to start some new growth.

Just planted some seed this morning.
It was also the Victoria variety.
Wish me luck!!

Just found your videos and am loving them! My husband and I are getting ready to embark on our own homesteading adventure here in MI. We are in the process of purchasing 5.5 acres of property where we plan to have a large garden and raise chickens for eggs (and possibly meat). Neither one of us were raised with teachings on self-sufficiency or homesteading mindsets, so we are going to be figuring it all out as we go. Keep the great content coming and we will keep learning and growing big! :)

My is patricia and I live in mobile al.yes I am growing rhubarbs I started my fist rhubarbs in 2015. I started my second and 2016 they are looking wonderful. I am also going artichokes.

I have wanted to plant some for years. I finally got seeds this year and have some started. I LOOOOOVVVEEEE the stuff. Plan to can some too.

I just got my seeds today, can't wait to plant and see what happens. Thanks for the instructions and encouragement! God bless you and Sindy.

Timely video! I am going to start my seeds today! I purchased rhubarb seeds from you this year, and I am looking forward to watching them grow. I have a sunny corner of my yard currently home to three very large hostas. A friend wants the hostas, so I am going to replace them with the rhubarb! This will be my perennial garden with asparagus I planted from seed last year (so tiny!), horseradish root (contained in a large pot...don't worry!), hopefully these yet-to-be-started rhubarb plants, and then I need to plant strawberries in with the asparagus. Hopefully within the next year we will add some berry bushes and a 4-in-1 apple tree to make our "permaculture" mark on our property.

I am growing rhubarb for the first time this year. Just potted them up yesterday. Now in 4" pots. Hope it grows well in the south. Best wishes Bob.

i never had any luck with growing them from seed but i keep trying blessing to you both

Did you harvest the seeds from your existing plants after they flowered?

don't eat the leaves! poison!

Rhubarb seems like a very interesting plant to have :-)

I got over 100 year old rhubarb plants from my grandparents house! Rhubarb is so hardy

When planted out they need a huge load of manure , in the planting hole. Another trick is to mulch them with ,wood ash .

Ive never heard of growing rhubarb from seed. We've had it growing here for years, not even sure if it was from seed or what. lol

Will be keeping up with your rhubarb update.

That is so hard to get rid of. Keep it contained kids. It will take over.

I just started those. they just popped up
