Rhubarb is rising

Rhubarb in April
Vigorous is a good word to describe the rhubarb. It’s growing so fast that it I will have to thin rather than transplant the intermediate plants.
Even those whose initial leaves were broken in the previous months winds have recovered. I wonder if I will have rhubarb coming out of my ears by the summer.
It lives!

Rhubarb
I had accepted that yet again the rhubarb had come to an early demise. However, late last month just as the weeds moved in, a row of new leaves suddenly appeared. Now, a few weeks on, the rhubarb is still with us.
I’ve weeded around the plants and mixed in a little composted manure. Perhaps, almost optimistically, this could be it.

Maya’s baby tweezers were put to good use with her in the sling and the seed trays in front. Her mother wasn’t too enthralled, despite the uncluttered seedlings. There’s a reasonable showing from the chilli peppers, hopefully the habaneros will make an appearance soon. Rhubarb looking fine.

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.
