Grow Rhubarb So Big It Could Feed A Dinosaur!

I use the leaves whole as a mulch around the plant. They keep the soil from drying out and provides nutrients as they break down. Have done this for years and my rhubarb always looks and grows great.

Your rhubarb gets more loving attention than most marriages! 😂 No wonder it keeps going strong year after year......

I inherited a wonderful rhubarb plant when we bought our house. It grows alone at the side of the lawn in a sunny spot. It grows incredibly fast and easily produces 4 complete harvests each season. We don't let it get thicker than 1.5 inches, or it gets woody. We water it daily. We started dumping grass clippings right next to it when we moved into the house, and it absolutely took off. We joked for years that abusing it was the secret. Last year, we removed the compost and it did poorly for the first time in 12 years. This year, the grass pile is back. It's loving it. It's a week or two away from the first harvest and it's mid-April. We'll get three or four more harvests and pies all winter.

I'm waiting for part of a crown that my daughter took as I moved abroad. Its a family treasure. I estimate the crown has been active for nearly a hundred years. My father brought some from his parents home, I'm 61, he was born in 1921, so it could easily be that old. It still produces great Rhubard.

I live in Florida USA, where rhubarb doesn't grow because of the heat. I have, however, mastered the art of growing rhubarb from seed as an annual during our fall, winter and spring seasons. My plants aren't as big and beautiful as your, but I get enough to make a few pies and crumbles, and stock the freezer for later. I grow them in 20-30 gallon containers with drip irrigation. This fall I plant to follow your advise and feed them more frequently to see it I can up their productivity.

Wow! I've never seen rhubarb that big. After 10 years of trying to grow it with little success I will adjust with your recommendations.

What an absolute top fella! I didn’t know half of this info despite being an avid gardener! Thanks so much, you now have a new subscriber 🤜🤜

Great video, Tony! You covered every aspect of growing wonderful rhubarb with fantastic detail. This is a perfect guide for every gardener.

Your rhubarb is huge! I just watched your garlic video as well. Great tips and beautiful garlic. I planted it for the first time this year myself. So happy it worked and that I proved to myself I can do it!

Tony, You are a genius, Sir!! i have started following your tips earlier this year and I am definitely reaping the benefits on my Allotment. Keep the videos coming!!

I have great rhubarb , been throwing food scraps into the space and my rhubarb grows tall and wonderful for 30 years, everyone comes by to get some . great video and right to the point

Absolutely Fantastic tips, advices and direction here Tony... Sterling Work!!

Outstanding video! Thank you. I learned a ton. I can't wait to plant mine.

thank you for pointing out a couple of things I had been doing wrong with my plants and now I should be able to improve my rhubarb garden

Rhubarb is definitely big bang for your buck. Having said that, I haven't been able to harvest a plant I've had for about 10 or more years. I never fed it but I will going forward. Great video.

You have answered all the things I needed to know. I have it two years and haven't harvested any yet. The slugs milled it. I didn't water it enough or feed it enough. It went to seed, I got a few seeds so I will have a go at that when you show us how to do that. Good on you man.

Wowsers Tony those were Enormous!!! They do look like they are very thirsty plants and definitely not dainty or delicate! I can't believe how big they were. They looked almost as tall as you! That Crumble looked so tasty at the end!

Tony thank you so much, you just kept going and going with sooo much info!! I'm a gardener with my own new home and finally ready to get the garden and patios set up. I hope mine builds up and grows strong like yours!

Hi Tony, Great documentary. I'm blown away,... never before have I seen Rhubarb this big, and I grew up with it back in Germany. Now for 42 years in Australia, just lately I'm having some success growing my own Rhubarb, having my first harvest,, Yummo! PS. Will do the Rhubarb tea. This is why I Looked for Rhubarb on TheTube. Many thanks, Alexander

Perfect just what I was looking for. Thank you so much
