Thanks David.

I finally have a fresh, still alive, root but now need a little advice
about growing it. I've heard soo many different conflicting instructions
I'm totally confused! I'm pretty sure now that I shouldn't touch it for
a year but I've read all about this forcing business and in the Mirror
today they have written that it only grows pink if it IS forced.

Need a rhubarb expert to clarify for me! :s

Pink?? Usually the stems are red.

Put it in soil, just to cover, mulch it, fish emulsion it, water it
regularly, and watch it grow. They'll take a lot of neglect.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953
