I have a tiny little vegetable plot with no room for a rhubarb. But I
do
have room for a pot. Would it be possible to grow a rhubarb in a pot?
Has
anyone on this NG tried this?


Why not put the Rhubarb where you intend putting the pot?

I meant no room in the vegetable plot, but plenty of standing room on the
patio.

This may be a silly question, but is it feasible for you to pop up on of the
patio slabs and plant the rhubarb in the gap? I've several patios where
slabs have been left out or taken away on purpose to grow plants in the
space and they all look quite nice. Never seen it don'e with rhubarb of
course, but with other plants yeah.


Not a silly question at all as that's how I got the vegetable patch in the
first place. I lifted 12 24" x 24" patio slabs and dug up the earth
underneath them. But lifting another would bring a frown to the face of "her
indoors" otherwise known as "She who must be obeyed". I would definitely be
pushing my luck trying that.
