This page will explain it all to you. http://www.geocities.com/green_cache/rhubarb.html |

Jonno, I had read that, but couldn't buy crowns at the time so thought
I'd give seeds a try. Be interesting to see how they end up? LOL Bronwyn ;-) Jonno wrote: HC wrote: G'day Has anyone grown Rhubarb from seed? Just wondering about your results.

Rhubarb from seed - what results?
It would be interesting. That page I sent you to has got a whole heap of
info for other stuff to grow. I'm in Melbourne and am just "transplanting" the broad beans that grew by themselves when my wife didn't get them all last summer (I know not supposed to transplant and not supposed to grow them in summer) But I had some room and experimented and they were OK with no sign of diseases, so I may do so again this year. The climates gone quite stupid, and if the climate can go stupid so can I. No limits no rules and lets do something different in the garden. Rhubarb from sees is great to see what happens. I wouldnt mind some of the huge variety they grow in Canada and places like that. 5 feet and taller I read on the Net.Just finished moving my crowns and I'm late but it will work out. Now to put in the tomatoes (too early but ever optimistic, no more frost I hope, they're cheap enough otherwise) Keep moving them in the garden to prevent disease.Lettuces and silver beet and Lebanese cucumbers. Nearly wrote of the girl at the woolies checkout with the chook pellets. She got one whiff, and nearly fainted. Obviously not a gardener. Must try mulching also this year.

Gee, don't be too hard on your local checkout chick?? LOL
That Rhubarb you mentioned in Canada sounds fabulous...wonder if it tastes as nice? My poor old grandfather got me hooked on rhubarb when I was a kid so suppose I'll have to blame him for some of my food favourites. Who cares about not transplanting etc...if it works for you, then that's great. I tend to do my own thing too. Planted some tomato seeds today, better late than never but I haven't worried about a vegie garden for several years while I've been crook, and only decided a few days ago to start again this season. I also want to grow some green/yellow/white striped tomatoes after watching Jamie Oliver make a great tomato salad with all the colours available. It looked really interesting. On the lookout for some bulk manure at the moment, already got half a dozen bales of hay. Don't get frosts here at any time of the year (MidNorthCoast NSW), but had rain for the last 3-4 days with more forecast over the weekend. Bronwyn ;-) Jonno wrote: It would be interesting.
