My next project is to turn the tiny three stalk rhubarb into a huge monster!

Lots of rain and lots of feeding. As mentioned above, muck/compost is ideal. Somewhere cool and damp, they hate summer heat.

Theres a reason it grows so well "oop north" :cool:

I had brought 4 Kg tomatoes and forgot them in the fridge. So the tomatoes were rotten after few days. Now tomatoes are Rs 60/kg when earlier they were Rs 25/kg.

Everybody in Mumbai is going crazy/mad because they buy 2 tomatoes but 4 kg tomatoes were rotten in my fridge.

:A :beer:

then you have starved some poor Asian or wasted your money, conscience has a lower limit chap.

Oh come off it (and the other person too) - - just think of the direct and indirect waste we all contribute to. Most of us are guilty, loads of packaging, food miles, wasted food. Supermarkets throw out stuff that is edible. Air freighted food is a waste. I stopped buying organic onions from Waitrose when I saw they came from Argentina. And what about huge trucks we drive, known as 4x4s. And so on an so forth.

It was a joke Leif, get an SOH, you are just too serious at times.:D:D

It wasn't even aimed at you simply the fool who has now removed his idiotic post after possibly sobbering up, I think that escaped you, it was a wind up on his part.

I have a sense of humour, but your post was not in the least bit humorous, it comes across as a rather pompous telling off. Not trying to be rude, but that is how it reads.

I have read that I should be making sure there are no weeds or other plants in its area but there are. But at the same time I also read not to disturb its roots so I have no idea what to do. Its a pathetic little plant but it must be at least two years old because there is no way the last tenant planted it

NO ONE IS WRONG or RIGHT

My next post may suit you, not funny, very serious if gardening can ever be considered that.

Rhubarb definitely fits into the "tough as old boots" category of plants. If you've got a two year old plant that looks pathetic, I would suspect it has crown rot or a virus or something else wrong with it.

Treat yourself to a new plant.

I'll dig it out and plant a new one then. I'm more tempted to buy one that's already seeded (not sure what the term is!)

It would be best to plant it somewhere else in fresh soil.

Some rhubarb plants throw up seed heads; some don't. Some will seed one year and not another. Don't worry about it. If you see a flowering stem starting to grow, just cut it off.
