Does anyone have any suggestions where I can buy a rhubarb crown? I'd really like to grow some rhubarb in my old chimney pot but can't get a crown in my local garden centre.

Have you tried at your local B&Q, they sometimes sell them there. Have you got a friend that has some rhubarb? If you have why not ask them if they can spare a crown for you that's how I got mine. You'll have to wait a couple of years before you can take a few stalks off but if it's free it doesn't mater. Or have a look on line!

I would think you will need more growing medium than you can fit in a chimney pot if you are after any sort of crop. Rhubarb is a greedy feeder and will eventually make substantial crowns. They will do much better if you can give them a space in the ground (or failing that, the biggest bucket you can cadge/afford!)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
