As far as I know it doesn't hurt it except than you are done using it for the year.<br />You need to wait a couple of years on a newly planted container or in the ground planting than pick away. I am going to pick mine one more time this year hopefully in the next couple of days. https://www.thompson-morgan.com/how-to-grow-rhubarb<br />Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644142108001303079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-6813089827975138482017-07-02T05:52:16.094-05:002017-07-02T05:52:16.094-05:00I finally have rhubarb growing well in a spot wher...I finally have rhubarb growing well in a spot where it is shaded from the brutal Oklahoma afternoon shade. Hoping to get some kind of harvest from it eventually, it's become quite large but went to seed this spring and I was told it would die, but it hasn't. My shady spots are at a premium, however, and it's crowding out my other stuff, so containers might be the answer, glad you mentioned it in your post. Great sounding recipe, as usual!

It was better than three years before I needed to divide it. I think that would work for you as long as you are willing to transplant and divide when needed. Use the largest container you can so it has more space.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644142108001303079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-10863978654343467922017-06-30T12:02:46.312-05:002017-06-30T12:02:46.312-05:00Finally, a use for the rhubarb leaves.

We had Rhubarb growing in our yard that the previous owner planted years ago. Before we moved, I researched planting some in a container and everything I read said it would not have enough space for it to grow, so I gave up on the idea. I am so glad you shared this, because now I know it will grow in a small area. Is it growing in regular potting soiling? Is there anything special I need to know before I try it?Lori https://www.blogger.com/profile/17992650277662333949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-58360366614287865292017-06-30T07:38:16.117-05:002017-06-30T07:38:16.117-05:00Rhubarb is not something common here in Mississipp...Rhubarb is not something common here in Mississippi. I've probably said that already. I want to grow it for the giant leaves. You can cast them in concrete and make awesome garden art.<br /><br />Happy 4th.<br />The JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860982258621823529noreply@blogger.com
