Description
Description
Rhubarb is easy to grow and very hardy - in fact it needs a cold period in order to produce a good crop. Plants need to be sited somewhere they can remain undisturbed for a long time, as they can remain productive for many years. For an early crop, rhubarb can be "forced" - ie. the crown covered by an upturned bucket, or similar, to shut out the light, which encourages the plant to grow tender shoots earlier than it would otherwise.
