Sowing Rhubarb Seeds

25 February, 2012.

To create a good rhubarb patch using plants is very expensive. I've found growing rhubarb from seed is pretty easy, and I've started sowing a few pots now, but will sow more as spring arrives. I used three large pots, and placed three seeds in each, sowing about 2cm deep. I watered a little and left outside to germinate. The weaker seedlings should be removed once they begin to grow.
One of my autumn sowings. It will be next year that I can begin harvesting. The following year will produce a full harvest. This method is slower than buying plants but is so much cheaper.
