Think I might start some indoor farmin soon. Momma grabbed one of them cheap 50 cell starters that'll fit under the light. No peppers or maters just lettuce, green onion and perhaps carrots.  I do have seeds for string less beans ( pole) , squash,  and zucchini ( which the store bought plants last year had lots of rot) but might wait a bit on those.

Ruthie (my better 1/2) said "I think you should get some Gnomes for the garden"

So, looking around for some ideas...I found one that Boar would buy....  :rotflmao:

took a walkabout the property this morning.  sure is a beauty of a day so far.  :happy1: cleaned up a bunch of black walnut stems. noticed a few new growths in my wifes hostas, and her ?????? :doah: :confused: damn nabit cant think of the name now.anyway there flowers.  :nerd: 

the grass is slowly greening up, my winter onions are also looking a little greener every day. so no life in the horseradish or rubarb.  there is still frost along the garden where the neighbors fence blocks the sun.  betting the rain coming will move things along!!!!1

No radishes up yet but found this little feller sunning himself on top of the peony litter. An integral part of the IPM program at the ranch.  :happy1:

So what do you guys do with your rhubarb plants?
Mine are just starting to poke up now, and have never done anything with them.....and every year....they bolt.

Do you clean up the dead leaves, fertilizer, chop them off in the fall?

Not like I really use it for anything.... but it always turns to crap...

What do we do with our rhubarb plants? When July comes we stop harvesting and let them go aside from the bolting. We try to cut those bolts when they show up as it pulls nutrients and energy away from the rootstock in order to produce seed. We have Canada Red and an unspecified older green variety. The green variety bolts more easily than the red at our place. It gets tougher and woody more quickly so we're not as fond of that. 

We leave the dead leaves in the fall when it goes dormant for the winter and remove it in the spring once it dries out a little more. Amazing how many ladybugs use that leaf litter in our small garden. We fertilized it heavily before establishment but it looks like it could use some well rotted manure worked in around a couple of the plants. They aren't as vigorous as they were a few years ago. It's that or move them which is a PITA. We have one plant that established itself from seed a couple years ago where we've been planting cannas. That area gets manure annually and so far that plant is roaring out of the blocks ahead of the rest. It appears to be a red type too so not exactly sure how that happened.

On another note, checked tonite & our radishes planted March 9th are starting to emerge! I almost wet myself... :doah:

Pretty much what Dotch said about the rubarb. I try to use as much as possible, give it way. Anything left before it gets woody I wash off, cut up and freeze it. A rubarb cake tastes pretty good jan- feb. :happy1:

Oh Dotch.... Ho change your depends. :pouty: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

My Rhubarb is coming up. Always the first to show new growth in the spring. Dotch is right on as to how to treat it.

My wife makes the best rhubarb tort. My whole family loves it. She also makes strawberry/rhubarb jelly and pie.
