​Growing Rhubarb
​
-
Put some damp soil in a plastic pot almost to the top
-
Make a hole with your finger, drop in your rhubarb seed and cover with compost.
-
Place your pot on a sunny windowsill
-
Your seed should begin to germinate in around 1 or 2 weeks
-
When your plants grow too big for the pot, plant them in bigger flowerpots or directly into the soil.
-
When 6-8 inches in height plant out to their final growing position in good light with plenty of organic matter dug in.
-
Plants should achieve 12 inches in height at the end of the first season.
-
rhubarb can withstand partial shade and a certain amount of drought but grow best when watered through hot periods.
