  • Rhubarb Rhubarb.....

    I moved and split the Rhubarb the winter before last so didn't pull any last year. This year it sent up flower spikes which I cut out and now despite loads of muck and water it refuses to produce any decent stalks just lots of thin ones. Before I moved it and last year it was fine.

    Any ideas please, I want to make Rhubarb schnapps!!!

    It might take a mature plant a couple of years to settle down. I wouldn't give up hope on it - but you don't look like gettting your schnapps this year!

          Aye the lad's nobbut right. I don't harvest after mid July here. My dad used to pick until winter and he always killed his rhubarb!

              Hi Kev (to say nothing about Sue). Yup. Just let them die in. Next year you can have some crumble (or schnapps).
              Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

              Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
