We've been valiantly trying for quite a few years to grow rhubarb. With
the exception of one plant, nothing survived. Then last year, the final
plant (four years old and I pulled some stalks for the first time) finally
died. We've still optimistically planted 7 or 8 new roots and right now
they've all stuck their heads out of the ground.

We live in Zone 7. We have followed all planting advice as to hole depth,
working in compost and/or manure, etc., etc. Are we in the wrong climate,
since the summers do get pretty hot?

Any tips would be appreciated.
