i grow plants last year here in Australia that grow 1meter + stalks . is this just a freak thing or normal . Just going into spring and my plants are already about that size . should i let some plants go to seed if its a freak thing ?? . Gday from Tasmania Australia

Could we make a soda by juicing the rhubarb, and lemon (more sour!) and sugar? It wouldn't be carbonated....

You can’t beat rubbarb and custard yum yum

It freezes well when you cube the stalks 1/2" long.

Sun or shade?

I love my rhubarb! I make drinks all summer with it with lemon and ginger.....how to reproduce more....and prevent yellow rotting leaves...Im in Maine. woow wee your plants look good! Mine is not looking so good ...its been there for years...but Id love to see her healthier

I used to love rhubarb and ginger jam. Really delicious but the varieties available these days don't seem to be as tasty. Rhubarb crumble is definitely our very favourite, no other fruit required, eaten with either custard or ice cream. YUM!!

I love rhubarb. I do NOT like it mixed and hidden by strawberries! I make an upside down rhubarb cheesecake. Delicious recipe with a European short crust (butter flour and a little sugar.) When I lived in Texas for 4 years and asked for rhubarb in an HEB store, they asked "What does it look like?" Had to do a double take before answering, "Kinda like red celery?"

I am not Neil , I am a roommate Does rhubarb do well in pots ?

Wow my rhubarb plants are nothing like that. Fine thin stalks and the plants are 40 years old. I have never seen it flower at all. Might be the kind I have. Southern Ontario.

Rhubarb crumble with custard for me.

I am Norwegian, living in Denmark. I have rhubarb in my garden and just love it. In the old days in Norway rhubarb was a life saver. The first fresh source of vitamin C of the year. Ready to be harvested from late April and all summer. Great video. Thanks. I hit like and subscribe 👍

Don't harvest for a few years?!!! 😢

I'm going to plant some rhubarb this year. I'm not that big a fan, but I do like to have my own resources. I much prefer strawberries and living in the South, peaches. You just can't beat Georgia peaches. 😊 My focus this year=big luscious, sweet, Camarosa strawberries & hazlenut trees. 😊

I’m a born & raised Minnesotan. Rhubarb is everywhere there. We recently moved to Missouri and I missed my rhubarb so I bought some crowns last spring and put them in a raised bed. I was nervous because rhubarb is more of a northern cold loving plant. But to my surprise, they’ve been growing wonderfully. I’m so happy to have rhubarb again! I didn’t harvest any the 1st year & harvested about 1/4 of the stalks this year and will leave it alone til next year. Can’t wait to make some yummy rhubarb desserts.

Rhubarb crumble is delicious

Good rhubarb should be grown in complete darkness.

What season is mid June please

I was told you could only eat the stalks if they were all red. I see you picked ones that had a little red. Would you please clarify this for me? Thanks!

Thanks for the video, my question is in June when the season is done do you pull everything or just let everything go to seed?

So what happens to the third you leave on the plant does it dry off in winter then you tidy up or just leave it?

Hi from Alaska🙂 Can you publish the soda recipe?

In the West Riding of Yorkshire, we have the famous Rhubarb Golden triangle. Our speciality is "forcing" rhubarb. It's grown outdoors for 2 years and then it's dug up on left on the surface over winter. The frost helps to set the sugars. In the spring it is planted indoors in "forcing sheds" deprived of any light. The workers use candles to see and you can hear the rhubarb growing. This produce a much sweeter rhubarb. Unfortunately, it also destroys the plant. Most of the people on my allotment site have rhubarb plants, most try to replicate the forcing process by growing one of the crowns under an upturned barrel. It does taste sweeter. If you have several crowns, it's worth giving it a try.

Question, how old is rhubarb that I didn’t harvest or at actually I didn’t harvest any this year because it’s all brand new. Do I just let it die or do I turn it off or what do I do for winter?

Rhubarb and custard cake, rhubarb and custard .. rhubarb goes well with ginger, dried when you cook it, bake or stew, or in jam, i suppose you could add stem ginger for that. I LOVE rhubarb!!

My Grandmother made a Custard Rhubarb pie .

I grow rhubarb in Georgia. It grows nicely but gets a little stressed during the hottest parts of our summer.

Hello from Canada! Green and red growing on our new property! Thanks for the tips!

What is “soda”? A beverage? Soda ash? Something else? I’m not from New England and I’m not familiar with the term.

My mom taught me to wiggle the stalk back & forth as you pull. Helps prevent the stem from snapping. As seniors, we live in an apartment now, without a garden. This year, on our balcony, as an experiment, I planted a single rhubarb plant in a large pot. With regular watering it's thriving but the test for it will be our cold Canadian winter. In the meantime, I find that other gardeners are quite generous with their rhubarb. Thank you for your very informative video!

We’ve had trouble with our rhubarb stalks turning green. The stalks were red when we planted the crowns but as it grew, the stalks turned green! Not nearly as visually appearing.

Rhubarb Sauce Make just like Apple Sauce

Makes sense rhubarb likes rich soil like Minnesota. Used to love rhubarb pie as a kid, better than strawberry- rhubarb in my opinion bc the strawberry takes away from the tartness and straight rhubarb flavor. I never see in Texas except once and it was an overpriced grocery store novelty. Once there was frozen, but never tried it. Heard leaves poison too- how far away from leave do you cut stem? And I remember seeing stalk more red throughout-- maybe its different variety? Or does it matter how much is red if you have a 12 inch stalk? If leaves poisonous, would worry about composting and putting fresh leaves on garden veggies, or no worries?

I think rhubarb is making a comeback

We have rubarb in Canada we snap we pull it

How do you take care of your rhubarb over the winter?

What do you suggest doing with the plant to prepare for winter?

Thanks, very helpful

Rubarb desert is delicious also and easy to make

We have rhubarb in NZ as well. Maybe the settlers brought it with them. I always add the juice and zest of a lemon or orange and this takes away that mouth puckeringness that rhubarb can have. I roast it - slice into about 1 inch length and lay in an oven proof dish sprinkle with a little brown sugar the juice and zest of citrus and some vanilla if you want roast in a warm oven for 20-30 minutes. Serve with clotted cream or put on porridge or breakfast cereal. Delicious.

Thank you so much...

Learned so, so much! Thank you!!!

I make rhubarb orange marmalade, delicious!

Last year I made rhubarb drink you just cut it in pieces covered with water boil it till soft, strain most beautiful pink color. Add sugar to taste and I think it taste a lot like lemonade. It is one way to get rid of a lot of rhubarb if you have too much

I like rhubarb BbQ sauce

I went to a rhubarb festival in Lapine, Oregon, United States, and had the pleasure of tasting rhubarb beer

I grow rhubarb in containers. They are great producers. I have been using it for jam.
