    Whats eating my rhubarb

    Can anyone please tell us what might be eating our rhubarb stems??? They have what looks like small blobs of clear jelly that look similar to clear frog sporn stuck to the stems, it is dry to touch, Mostly at the top on the green part of the stems. There is a small hole under each blob of jelly which is why im guessing something is eating it!!!!!
    Any ideas????????????

    Welcome to the vine Lorna and James, You will find lots of very good advice and fun here.

    As for your 'jelly blobs' at a rough guess I think it might be slugs (rampant this year) but I don't think that it is anything to worry about.

    Others may think differently.

    Happy Gardening

      If the stems are damaged the exude a jelly of their own. It may be just part of the plant's own juices dried up and nothing to worry about.
