Rhubarb

Rhubarb is a hardy perennial vegetable with large leaves and tart flavoured, red, pink or greenish stalks.

The stems can be picked in spring and can be used for desserts and cordials. The flavour can vary in sweetness depending on the age of the stems. Leaves should be composted as they are toxic and shouldn’t be digested.

Rhubarb need an open, sunny site with moist, but free-draining soil. Avoid frost pockets as the stems are susceptible to frost. Do not harvest during the first year after planting as this will reduce the vigour. Once planted, it should not be moved and appreciates a generous annual mulch of well-rotted compost or manure.
