Default Rhubarb ?

My garden isn't big enough for a lawn and a vegetable garden, so I started
to grow potatoes, radish, carrots, onions in pots which the lady at the
local flower shop let me have for free.
Can I grow rhubarb in a pot ..... ?
I have a number of green boxes that I got from the council for recycling,
which would be great if possible.


Short answer - you can grow anything in a pot. If the pot is big enough.

For Rhubarb you want something about 1metre diameter and as deep as you can
get it.IIRC.
It is very hungry so you need a lot of good compost to start it off and
plenty of feeding.

Start with a crown, rather than seeds though.
