Описание: A complete guide on how to grow rhubarb, including reasons to grow rhubarb, an introduction to rhubarb varieties, how to plant rhubarb and care for rhubarb, including forcing rhubarb, and how to harvest rhubarb together with some ideas for eating.

Rhubarb is a herbaceous perennial plant, which means that once planted it comes back year after year. With luck, each year after planting, a rhubarb plant will come back larger and provide more stems.

I find that 6-8 stems are usually enough to make a family of four sized crumble, or a bowl of compote to store in the fridge. Through the harvesting season, a mature plant can produce enough stems to provide several harvests of this size every month.

I think one of the joys of growing rhubarb is that once established, the plants provide a reliable harvest whilst requiring little care.
