RHUBARB

Many years ago, Ken and I purchased 4 crowns of rhurbarb from a rhurbarb farm on the Mornington Penninsula. I grew the crowns in large pots and decades later ( 2025), I still have 3 of those crowns growing in pots in my garden today. Do not be fooled by rhubarb, I have successfully used the chopped stalks in savoury dishes, sweets, cakes and conserves. Be aware the leaves are toxic to humans and must be discarded after harvesting the stalks. We were told by the rhubarb farmer not to cut the stalks off the crown, they must be broken at ground level from the stalk. This will promote robust regrowth .
