How To Grow Rhubarb in the Low Desert
Here are her tips on how she grows her rhubarb.
I planted my rhubarb in a large pot with Black Gold potting soil, perlite, and some cactus soil mix. The leaves are toxic, so I planted it in the pot for my dog’s safety. However he doesn’t eat any of my plants, and I am considering planting another in the ground with my strawberry patch under a guava tree. They are kept well shaded in the summer and do best being in the coldest spot of the garden in winter. Water often during the summer.
