piggywiggie Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 just a question but how far/when would you need to dig the rhubarb to get rid of it from your garden? I have some in my garden but I really dont want it there, we dont eat or like it and its not so good for the dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 get rid of the crown and you should be fine. as yorkshire seems to have had difficulty with there growing season this year. would it be possible to grow a decent crop up here. it seems to grow well in everyones gardens.

paulb Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 the big lumpy thing in the ground. the yorkshire growers lift the crown and force it in a dark shed. its not a weed and is esay to get rid of. but offer it to folks as it would be a shame to waste it.

Esther.R Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 If you dig them up and they are going spare we would take them happily - we lost a lot of our lovely big rhubarb patch to the late freeze last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 We have a crown or two that we might be willing to cleave (ahem I mean see you cleave them) if anybody is interested. Just about the right time now we had a frost or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Too late this year to dig up the crowns. But we have a good crop of rhubarb this year again which needs picking before it goes off. PM me if you would like some for free, the only thing is that you would have to pick it yourself as I am on strict orders from the hospital to do as little as possibe after major surgery. We are in Ollaberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
