A racetrack friend, once, told me that one way trackers cooled a hot or inflamed joint was to wrap the horses leg with rhubarb leaves, as a 'poultice'. When I tried this for inflammation caused by arthritis, I washed and dried the leaves, wrapped them around my knees, put icepacks on either side of each leg, and wrapped them in place with tea towels. Compared to ice, alone, I'd say there was a 75% better reduction of inflammation. So, when ppl ask 'why' I grow such big rhubarb plants, I tell them it's 'health insurance'.
I'm waiting for part of a crown that my daughter took as I moved abroad. Its a family treasure. I estimate the crown has been active for nearly a hundred years. My father brought some from his parents home, I'm 61, he was born in 1921, so it could easily be that old. It still produces great Rhubard.
I use the leaves whole as a mulch around the plant. They keep the soil from drying out and provides nutrients as they break down. Have done this for years and my rhubarb always looks and grows great.
That's a great tip. I'll give that a go👍🏻
In very hot summer weeks I suspend a tarp above my rhubarb and give them lots of compost tea every day. It keeps them alive until the heat disapates.
Have some established plants, not the greatest sun but they grow big and seemingly healthy, but the stalks don't really turn red, we got nothing last season how come
@@dinkydoo66I’m
I did that for my Brussels sprouts and their roots rotted. Mind you that was an exceptionally wet year.
Who else is heading out to add compost or re plant 😊
As a toddler, maybe 3 or 4 years old, I'd go over to the neighbor's house and the lady would give me a tiny bowl of sugar and a stalk of rhubarb. I'd happily sit and eat my treat. Mom knew if I wasn't on our property, I was more than likely sitting at the neighbor's house enjoying rhubarb dipped in sugar. Found out later in life, that the neighbor would call Mom to let her know I was at her place. lol
Rhubarb custard pie is my family tradition and crumble a close second. Yumm
Strawberry rubarb anything.
Rhubarb custard sounds amazing!
I inherited a wonderful rhubarb plant when we bought our house. It grows alone at the side of the lawn in a sunny spot. It grows incredibly fast and easily produces 4 complete harvests each season. We don't let it get thicker than 1.5 inches, or it gets woody. We water it daily. We started dumping grass clippings right next to it when we moved into the house, and it absolutely took off. We joked for years that abusing it was the secret. Last year, we removed the compost and it did poorly for the first time in 12 years. This year, the grass pile is back. It's loving it. It's a week or two away from the first harvest and it's mid-April. We'll get three or four more harvests and pies all winter.
At the end of the fall I dump the potting soil from my flower pots next to it.
It is next to a fence and a shed. It was like 5 ft by 5 ft
this year.
Thanks for the grass clippings tip Hollycat😉
Your rhubarb gets more loving attention than most marriages! 😂 No wonder it keeps going strong year after year......
Should resign. Despicable behaviour. Do as I say not as I do! Mentality terrible.
Haaaaa. No wonder the divorce rate is so high...... lol... sadly..... not funny... by the way.... my "rhubob" is positively prehistoric. So big it belongs in Jurassic Park. AND we've been married 29 years. I'm 50. ❤❤❤😜😜😜
😅😂🤣👍
Being so large, rhubarb leaves make great slug traps before you compost them. Just lay a few on the ground and there will be dozens of the little blighters underneath the leaves the next morning!
That’s a great tip Steve thanks mate
@@simplifygardening Cheers Tony. Have a great weekend buddy!
@@DigwellGreenfingers You too pal :)
Definitely going to give this a try! Thank you 😊
Amazing must try
I live in Florida USA, where rhubarb doesn't grow because of the heat. I have, however, mastered the art of growing rhubarb from seed as an annual during our fall, winter and spring seasons. My plants aren't as big and beautiful as your, but I get enough to make a few pies and crumbles, and stock the freezer for later. I grow them in 20-30 gallon containers with drip irrigation. This fall I plant to follow your advise and feed them more frequently to see it I can up their productivity.
I am so glad you are able to find a way around the heat issues you face. Sometimes our growing conditions can set us back, but the fact you didn't let this stop you and found a workaround is amazing Sue. Please keep me updated if it does help increase your yields. Tony
Thanks for post , Sue . I'm in southern Louisiana and visited Penn. this summer. My sister has a beautiful rhubarb plant and I love strawberry/ rhubarb pie. But never saw it down here . I'll give it a try this fall !!!!
So jealous that you can grow rhubarb in the winter and Oranges in summer. Here in the UK rhubarb is about as exciting as my garden gets.
@@Hindsighht surprisingly citrus is also a winter crop. The trees bloom in the spring, January through March, and the fruits take 7 to 8 months. I start eating oranges and grapefruit in November and December.
I'm in Santa Barbara, Ca and I'm trying to grow rhubarb. We had it in Alaska when I was a kid and it practically grew wild. I know my water bill is going to be crazy. At least I have a rain barrel for when it actually does rain. It doesn't get very hot here, but it also doesn't get very cold.
Wow! I've never seen rhubarb that big. After 10 years of trying to grow it with little success I will adjust with your recommendations.
Let me know how you do Tim
@@simplifygardening Mine just broke soil last week for this season and it reminded me that I needed to get back with you. Once I got the crowns up in a low mound great results! I used the same fertilizer as you and now that the crowns are well drained the plants seriously love daily water.
Why do you want the plants 🌱 to grow so huge. Do you sell and use your plants. Why so much.
Gosh, the garden in the background is so beautiful! And so is that rhubarb! TY for all the tips. I ❤ rhubarb. Sadly, my family does not.
Holy crap! I have never seen rhubarb that big before. I’ve not had much luck growing it in the past but I’ve been reading up on growing it. I’ve got a bought plant and 2 little ones I grew from seed that were hanging in there. Thank you for this video. It’s been really educational.
This is by far the BEST video on the internet about growing Rhubarb! Thank you so much for the tips, my rhubarb is doing fantastic this year due to the extra water and fertz.
L
Great video, Tony! You covered every aspect of growing wonderful rhubarb with fantastic detail. This is a perfect guide for every gardener.
Thank you Scott. Really appreciate that coming from you
He’s just like you Gardener Scott…. Loaded with valuable info 👩🌾❣️
@@simplifygardening I've come here from gardener Scott's last live chat. I'm a newbie and this is another clear, concise channel. Subbed 👍
@@deecooper1567 Thank you Dee thats an amazing compliment :)
I agree 👍 great informative video, ty Tony
Can't wait to start my rhubarb seeds. Thank you for the all the great information!!
Thank you so much. I can now fix my rhubarb!
You are welcome!
Outstanding video! Thank you. I learned a ton. I can't wait to plant mine.
I have had trouble growing rhubarb when everyone I know says that it's impossible to kill. I went through over 5 varieties and every one of them died. I decided to try again and bought a variety from Canada that was supposed to be great tasting and really hardy. It was doing great, then our harsh summer hit (really hot, humid, with little rain) and it looked like it died :(. So much for being really hardy I thought. But the next spring it was back looking great again. Summer hit, and it died back. It does this every year. Apparently I have a variety that just goes dormant when the summer gets too hot - I've never seen a rhubarb do this before. I planted some thyme around the base as a living mulch two years ago. The rhubarb seems to enjoy the company as it takes a little longer for it to go dormant in the heat and it has expanded for the first time in the 10 years I've had it! The thyme seems to enjoy the match as well. It's the best looking thyme I've had in years.
Absolutely Fantastic tips, advices and direction here Tony... Sterling Work!!
Thank you making this video .I’ve learned a lot from you .Hopefully our plant will be more healthy from now on 👍👍🇦🇺
This is the Master Class on rhubarb!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge! My rhubarb has been terrible but now I know what I've been doing wrong. Thank you again!
So glad it was of value Erin
Your rhubarb is huge! I just watched your garlic video as well. Great tips and beautiful garlic. I planted it for the first time this year myself. So happy it worked and that I proved to myself I can do it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Tony.
They look like something from the Day of the Triffids! I'm going to plant some crowns tomorrow. The advice is helpful.
Tony, You are a genius, Sir!! i have started following your tips earlier this year and I am definitely reaping the benefits on my Allotment. Keep the videos coming!!
Thank you very much Tony! Your video is enormously helpful.
What an absolute top fella! I didn’t know half of this info despite being an avid gardener! Thanks so much, you now have a new subscriber 🤜🤜
Just rewatching some vids for inspiration new garden season
Really appreciate the great info, thank you!
Rhubarb is definitely big bang for your buck. Having said that, I haven't been able to harvest a plant I've had for about 10 or more years. I never fed it but I will going forward. Great video.
I have great rhubarb , been throwing food scraps into the space and my rhubarb grows tall and wonderful for 30 years, everyone comes by to get some . great video and right to the point
Tony thank you so much, you just kept going and going with sooo much info!! I'm a gardener with my own new home and finally ready to get the garden and patios set up. I hope mine builds up and grows strong like yours!
Very helpful tips! Thanks
Great video! Thanks for all your efforts to share this us in such a quality way!
Thanks James glad you found value in it
Very informative thanks. Been well pleased with my rhuwbarb this year 3cm stalks, from my Dad's old plant :) All the best Nige TOTP
You have answered all the things I needed to know. I have it two years and haven't harvested any yet. The slugs milled it. I didn't water it enough or feed it enough. It went to seed, I got a few seeds so I will have a go at that when you show us how to do that. Good on you man.
Glad you got your questions answered Sean
Wowsers Tony those were Enormous!!! They do look like they are very thirsty plants and definitely not dainty or delicate! I can't believe how big they were. They looked almost as tall as you! That Crumble looked so tasty at the end!
Thanks Suzy. They certainly fill a space and would be great even just as a garden filler in an ornamental garden
thank you for pointing out a couple of things I had been doing wrong with my plants and now I should be able to improve my rhubarb garden
I hope it works well for you:)
Love Rhubarb! Thank you for this comprehensive video! Invaluable!
Thanks glad it was useful
This is a fantastic video. Thank you for making it.
Thanks for this one! So very helpful!👍
Glad you enjoyed it Derek
Wow!! Great job on your video. Great advice. From New Brunswick, Canada.
Hey, thanks very much. i am glad you enjoyed it and welcome to the channel :)
Absolutely brilliant title Tony.
Brilliant Tony.
Thanks for the tip about splitting the plant after flowering.
Anytime Tony. Glad it was helpful for you mate
Love your pronunciation: rhu-bob 👍🏻
Cheers Chris
Hi Tony, Great documentary. I'm blown away,... never before have I seen Rhubarb this big, and I grew up with it back in Germany. Now for 42 years in Australia, just lately I'm having some success growing my own Rhubarb, having my first harvest,, Yummo! PS. Will do the Rhubarb tea. This is why I Looked for Rhubarb on TheTube. Many thanks, Alexander
Glad you found the video of use Alexander
Excellent video Tony, very complete about rhubarb, totally enjoyable, congrats
Thanks Oscar glad you enjoyed it 😉
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and expertise. Great vlog !
Thanks for watching!
Simplyfi. Growing rhubarb.
I live in central France and have planted a whole heap of crops including rhubarb. Was really glad to see this video, it will help us a great deal as it is the first time we have grown anything other than tomatoes back in the UK. I have planted up 12 tubs of potatoes following your methods , 6 tubs of Charlottes and 6 tubs of a main crop called Michelle. The Charlottes got blight and we have had to cut the foliage off about 3 weeks ahead of the 90 days. I planted 4 seeds to a tub and they were about the size of a medium egg. We did a big potato reveal of one of the tubs yesterday and got 3 lbs of mostly useable spuds. There were quite a few that were still only the size of Maltesers which I imagine would have grown to a nice size for earlies. I intend to start a You Tube channel of my own, following our life here both with crops and livestock - chickens in the near future. I will be sure to give you a shout out and hope you will give it a watch. It will be called Ex pats and Ex bats.
Chris I am very glad that things are growing well for you and of course I will check out your channel when you start it
Absolute best informational garden and veggie plot videos on UA-cam thanks for all the knowledge Tony 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much Rhoman. I really appreciate that your enjoying the content and you regard it so highly. That means the world to me. Thanks
Any time my friend 👍🏼I’ve got a Lil allotment plot and I refer to your video for everything especially potatoes 🥔😂 god bless and stay safe.
Amazing looking rhubarb plants. Mine looks so sad compared 😢 My poor plants have never seen manure and I know this is what they are needing.
One of my Uncles had a garden that was over a bowl in carboniforus limestone. His Rhubarb was an incredible size.
Your video,s give me food for thought. Interesting and enjoyable if people follow what you teach a harvest as well.
Thank you for sharing the story about your uncle and im glad your enjoying the videos
Never saw rhubarb that big in northern Indiana. Also realized i starve and don't water enough . We have about 6 inches of black sand dirt then after that the ground is a ginger colored sand probley from bottom of Lake Michigan from glacier days .thanks for the information I got lots of work and mulch and manure work ahead. Wish I had some clay to mix in my sand for watering seems like it just wicks away and makes a city for insects .25 years ago with same family rhubarb we would get rhubarb in freezer. It would grow 3 times bigger with the clay sand in the county we lived at that time. It was easy and stress free to get a crop year after year. Never got a good crop in that time where we live now. Thanks for pointers miss the rhubarb pies during the winter.
Great video, I think we can take rhubarb for granted, and only when stressed a reminder what a hungry feeder. I had to relocate a bunch of rhubarb last year and getting it reestablished has been a challenge. This video provides a bit of inspiration.
I am sure it will get established again just fee and water it well
I had no idea rhubarb could grow that large. Really impressive. I'm going to start feeding regularly after years of taking this wonderful plant for granted (and had perfectly adequate harvests). New subscriber!
I live to far south to grow any. As a matter of fact I've only seen it growing once, and they were so much smaller then yours. I can hardly believe my eyes seeing your leaves. I was so taken by your thumbnail that I had to watch the video. They look fantastic, great job.
Good luck and keep healthy.
Thanks for stopping and glad the thumbnail grabbed your attention to come and view
We have 5 100 ft. rows of rhubarb. We sell 400 to 500 pounds every year. People come from miles to get it. Now our grandkids pick and sell it for us (even the 3 year old helps). It's been great for them to learn sales and interacting with customers.
We mulch it very heavily with leaves in the fall, up to 18" deep. That helps keep the moisture in and the weeds out. All we have to do is to uncover some of the plants in the spring. The patch has been mulched for about 40 years now so I imagine it is very loamy. With all the leaves we've never had to fertilize and rarely water.
We live in Michigan.
Your advice is spot on!
My plants are "heritage " variety because they came from my grandmother circa 1960.
With 40 Years of mulch Terry That loam will be acting like a huge sponge and storing tons of water. awesome stuff
Very nice Id love to see a pic of them when they get going this year
Great information, the best rhubarb video i have seen, my crop is poor and now i can see why. Its coming out today and will be potted up then planted on to a decent position. Thanks Tony
Hey Tee Cee great for you to stop by. I am glad you found some value in the video that you can put into practise to get better crops in your garden
Lovely to see you in the garden Tony and everything looks fantastic. Rhubarb crumble mmmm love it with hot birds eye custard. Thank you for sharing ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe
Absolutely Ali got to have good custard too 😉
Or double fresh cream mmmmm
Now your talking 😀
Thank you I didn’t know you shouldn’t cut the stems off .
Great video, thanks for sharing the info.
Cheers Charles
That's some awesome rhubarb. My plants struggle I think with hot summers and not cool enough winters.
I've planted them in part shade to protect them from the summer 40degree burning sun.
I still manage to get enough to make the odd dessert, but they never look like yours,, I probably don't feed them enough.
Great video, lots of information in easy to understand segments 👍
Hey Gerry. Lots of water especially in the earliest part of the season and tons of feed. get that right and they will stand up to any amount of heat
Tony, wonderfully informative rhubard video, I will give it a go. Have a great weekend and be well.
Thank you P D Glad you enjoyed it. keep me informed on how it does for you
Thanks for those tips , I will feed and water much more in future and hopefully grow some much larger stems.
Let me know how you do Lynda
Great advice for me as I bought mine from Blairgowrie and I never touched it for the first year and gave it plenty of everything and it turned out super so with your advice I am looking forward to see how it turns out so cheers and stay safe 👍🏴💪
Keep me informed
Monster stalks! Love rhubarb, one of my favourites on my plot. I’ve got Victoria and Stockbridge Arrow. Plus I got given a lot of free crowns, not sure what variety those are though
That’s great Laura. Don’t think it really matters as long as they taste good
Thank you for all the tips.
Your welcome Shirley 😌
Those are some impressive plants! Such huge leaves.
Thanks. I am hoping these will reach the world record next year. Just short this year because it was broken by a storm
WOW AMAXING video. ..Lol I only managed to get 3 plants to maturity. ..things ATE the seedlings. .but I'm on my way and now want to harvest my first few stalks
Wow they're huge. Those are amazing. Love rhubarb strawberry pie or any type of rhubarb pies. All look si well taking care of.
Thanks. Yeah I try to ensure that I balance what the plant needs before feeding
Perfect just what I was looking for. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
I just use coffee grounds and crushed eggshells to keep snails and slugs at bay.
Excellent video. Learned even more stuff. 10/10 advice. Thank you.
Excellent glad it’s of value
Wow lots of information there, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful Elizabeth and i am very thankful for your comment :)
More great information tony I've just planted some rhubarb so great tips
Perfect Paul. Glad u found value in the video
enjoyable video tony lovely looking rhubarb
Thank you kindly Steven
I was enjoying a lovely rhubarb crumble as I watched this. Your rhubarb is huge, I’ll never equal that here in Canada! Having watched this I will water more and add even more fertilizer!
Klaus
Hey Klaus. What great timing to be eating it same time lol
So much information and value in this video! You certainly inspire confidence. Thanks so much. 🤗
Thank you so much Deb that means the world to me
@@simplifygardening Thank YOU! Question: will you have your recipes for making nettle tea fertilizer, comfrey, rhubarb, etc, in your new book when it comes out?
@@debkincaid2891 They might be in it. i do talk about them and haven't quite got there yet. Oh and when complete I need to find a publisher so bare with me on that. Likely to be early next year
That’s great advice. Thank you. Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel :)
That Rhubarb is very impressive, lots of useful tips
Thanks Monty glad you enjoyed the video mate
I will be dividing some rhubarb that i have in a rather old, wild patch this fall. My preparations began in the spring by digging up an area in a sumlit soot not far from my rehabilitated well which has a hydrant on it. I have been working over this new spot to upgrade the soil, and remove couch grass. You have inspired me. I live in Canada and appreciate your channel.
Sounds great!
Thank you for this video, slugs are a huge problem where I live. Currently we're trying copper tape around the perimeter of the beds, and egg shells and coffee grounds in the soil, but considering how bad they've been I'll have to watch you're video on nematodes too. ^.^ Thank you for the help.
Do you use beer traps?
@@classicrocklover5615 I don't, too many little kids around the area. ^.^
Hi Tony, great video, great rhubarb! I've planted a couple of crowns this year, will leave them to establish and not harvest until next year. These are in a good, sunny, sheltered position so I'm hoping for great things next year. I have one other plant, about 40 years old, planted against a north facing wall, never gets any sun and the ground is pretty dry because of the house foundations. But every year up it comes, gives us 3 or 4 crumbles and gets very big, though nowhere near as big as yours. I give it a chicken pellet feed at the start of the season, then a seaweed foliar feed every couple of weeks 'til the end of June, then leave it to die back. Mulch with compost in the autumn, then start the cycle again in the spring. Just mentioning this so that it just goes to show, if anyone doesn't have a sunny spot, you can plant a crown anywhere and as long as you tend to the plant, it will grow. Keep up the good work.
Thats great that it keeps giving for you. Consider splitting it if it slows down
Loved watching this video again tony! I'm envious of your plants. I planted a red canada rhubarb in December but it hasn't shown any growth, I think I may have got it just a little deep. I have no idea if it will come back or if I can lift it and replant it.
Yes then tony lad 👍👊👍 I have found a few crowns on that new plot that I didn't know what to do with either. Thanks for sharing mate👍👍👍
Perfect see how they go for you
Now THAT is Rhubard Tony! Great video as usual.
Cheers Dan appreciate it pal
I have never seen such colossal plants!
Lovely update Tony
Thank you Linda. I really appreciate you. Your always here commenting too :)
i learned so much! thanks
Great video with so much information. I`ve always taken my Rhubarb for granted but you`ve really opened my eyes, thank you. It`s my favourite fruit and apart from eating it the only other thing I do is I make pesticide from the Rhubarb leaves. New Subscriber here mate. I'm off now to watch your Nematode video
Thanks for this interesting and useful video. Rhubarb is my favourite plant to eat! I've got a couple but I'll try splitting them in the Autumn, then following your advice, I hope to increase the crop in future years.
So do I, and please let me know how they do after you spilt them
Very useful video. Thank you.
Thank you Nathalie I really appreciate that and glad you found value in it
Wow a very in-depth summary about this amazing unique plant,so through I feel quite confident in my new endeavors with this perennial and all of the amazing information...thanking you so much for your time and energy and knowledge...stay blessed
Thank isabella
Great channel... great information 💕🇺🇸
what fine big Rhubarb you had there , i think we called it pie plant in the old days ,...yes thanks for the advise and video
When I was a child, we chopped up rhubarb stalks, wrapped some sugar in a paper twist to dip in. Took it to the matinee - no money for sweets. Loved that sweet and sour taste😂
That you for your video, best information I have seen so far.
I’m glad it’s helped you
I've received rhubarb stems this big from a friend in the past. I couldn't believe how big! There was so much so I sat down and de-leafed outside. Chopped it up, cooked it with a bit of sugar and froze it in portions to last me throughout the year.
