Rhubarb departed

Since late summer last year I’ve been nurturing two dozen rhubarb seeds. The first twelve were sown directly with about a third germinating. They didn’t flourish. The remainder was put into a module tray in the spring. Again only about a third made it to the surface, of which two developed into something worth transplanting. Both were promptly devoured. One was strong enough to spawn another set of leaves. However, I think the strong sunlight coupled with a bottle cloche were too much. It doesn’t look like it’s going to make a recovery this time. I am quite upset.

Trying to raise a few seeds for the spring. Haven’t been able to find any roots.
