I found that if you water your rhubarb plant every day the rhubarb will grow much faster and larger.
In other words it needs LOTS of H20 every day.
Elizabeth's reply
This is so true and we tend to forget they get thirsty too.
Have you noticed the rhubarb grows so fast after a few days of continuous rain? I have, you can almost watch them growing.
We know our plants need water, but sometimes I assume the water from a huge rain is enough to last for sometime.
I think this is a common mistake some of us make and we need to make it a point to give our rhubarb water more consistently.
Thanks Bill for this great reminder about consistent watering of our rhubarb gardens.
