In Montana, rhubarb always seemed to like the east side of the house
best, where it got only morning sun. So I expect I'd want to give it
partial shade here, so it doesn't get, um, pre-cooked.

I rented a house once in Illinois that had a row of rhubarb
planted underneath a row of Concord grapes on a wire fence type
support (four cane Kniffen pruning). Worked great. The rhubarb
got lots of sun in spring, and was shaded in summer. It lasted
at least a month or two longer than usual.

After posting that I went off and read more and seems the plant
originated in Siberia, so no wonder it likes cold and shade!

Anyway, I have just the spot for it, but I'll have to move the tall
gladioli first (put them there to keep them out of the wind). Which
means it won't happen this year as the glads are not even to the
blooming stage yet.
