Rhubarb Series: Part 1: Growing, Harvesting, and Freezing  

I’m growing rhubarb this year and I have to say this video has got me super excited to start harvesting and finding ways to use it 😊

Thank you for the informative and entertaining video ! All very good advise to growing the versatile Rhubarb ! If i can add two things. When harvesting, if the leaf is left on or even a palm size portion of the leaf the stalk will sit well for a day or two kept in the shade. And if rhubarb is left in water too long it will curl and split into three or four curly portions so be sure to process it as soon as can be. I learned that i need to add some clay to my sandy soil and thank you so much !

Love rhubarb! When out of straws, another option, dip ziplock bag in a bowl/sink with water, instant vacuum sealed. BTW just have to say again your videos are the BEST!

Such a comprehensive, easy to understand video explaining all about rhubarb! Thank you!

Thank you, for the the mixing frozen and the straw trick!

Hi Rita!! Thank you for the video, nicely done. You are an inspiration to me.

Great video……the sound volume was great also. Best rhubarb video I’ve seen.

I love rhubarb! My friend made a cream cheese rhubarb square, and it was the absolute best.

Thank you so much for this video! We purchased a home last yr and the previous owner has rhubarb everywhere! Now I know how to take care of them. We are also a homeschool family and my kids have enjoyed watching your videos. Hello from upstate NY 🖐️

Hello Rita! I love your videos! Greetings from Alabama! I have a one acre property that I’m trying to develop into a homestead, and your videos inspire me. Wishing you and your family the best! Adam

I learnt alot from you and thanks so much for the information. I'm a beginner gardner and I'm growing rhubarb right now and I know not to harvest the first year

Wow thanks for this one.

Hello. Thank you so much for the comprehensive video. I love the variety of rhubarb you are growing in the garden. May I ask what variety it is and if you would consider selling a divsion? I live in Maryland, USA.

“I just giver”. Lol hello fellow Albertan 😂

Thank you, so I guess growing them in San Antonio, TX would be out of the question? LOL Rhubarb is worth it's weight in gold at the grocery stores here (at the few that have any). Too bad it probably isn't practical for you to ship. I grew up in Brunswick, ME where my grandmother grew rhubarb. Us grandchildren ran around in the spring with a shot glass full of sugar and a stalk of rhubarb.

Looking forward to more videos. When do you know rhubarb is ready to pick?

I have Rhubarb growing , i took some of the stem, now what shall i do if the flowers has bloomed, cut it out.

Awesome sauce!! Could I ask you what you use for a knife sharpener?

I have never seen Rhubarb like yours, sooooo deep red from leaf to crown. do you know what variety it is?

209AM EST. Does it cost to subscribe. Thanks

Mine is still very green. Almost no red. Can I use it still?

I wanna to buy The Rhubarb Roots. Let me know What can I do now?

When is the best time of year to split rhubarb?

Is there any way you could send me a couple small divisions of your heirloom rhubarb plants? I’ll pay

P.S. Now I know what all the wall shelves are for...lol... Cats!

Hi I am in North Atlanta looking for nurseries Novon have the root rhubarb If you have it please send it to me I’d pay for it just to write it to me thank you very much

You mentioned that you grew up on rhubarb juice - please tell us how to make it!

Cutting down trees without replanting is deforestation. It is not sustainable in the long run. Think about your kids who will inherit your property eventually. It takes more than 30 years to grow a good sized tree.
