I wasn't able to get my rubarb into the ground this weekend, and don't know when I will be able to. I know it belongs

3po3 on Feb 26, 2012That shouldn't be a problem as long as the container is large enough. My neighbor does all his veggie gardening in containers because he doesn't want to mess with our terrible soil.Helpful Reply

Terri J on Feb 26, 2012I am waiting for one more answer, because I can also put it in a straw bale. Steve, thanks for telling me that though, because now I can plant all my vegetables in containers, where the rabbits can't eat them. Plus it also saves me the trouble of sending soil samples out until I can get some muscles here to help me dig it up.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Feb 27, 2012Terri, you can certainly grow rhubarb in a container that large, but at a certain point I think you're going to need to commit to keeping it there for the season and not transplanting it until after there's been a frost. Every time you re-pot or transplant you put stress on a plant and it goes through a period of adjustment.Helpful Reply

Terri J on Feb 27, 2012Doug, I am going to go along w/ what you and Steve G. said. My straw bales can be used for other things I know I have to just get it into something big and leave it alone. Plus, the bunnies won't get to it their either and my helpful neighbor who hates rhubarb won't "accidnetly" mow it over eitherHelpful Reply

Pat Croley on Apr 28, 2016For sure the "best". I have been trying to keep some alive to have a good rhubarb pie this spring. Living in the south isn't good for rhubarb.Helpful Reply
