Rhubarb should live in central Maryland, I would think. You certainly had a
great deal of cold weather this last winter. But it should be up. (Mine is
up in zone 5/6, Spokane, Wa). At first it looks like decatying red apples
on the ground. But within a few weeks the big crinkly leaves start to
unfurl. Maybe you kicked over the emerging plants thinking they were
unwanted debris?

When does rhubarb come up? I planted some last year but have not seen any
come up yet this year. I live in central Maryland - Zone 6.
