I absolutely love Rhubarb so it was a no-brainer that this would be one of my starting plants. The garden centre was selling pots of Champagne Red so I am growing "A superb variety with deep red foliage, mid season fruiting with good flavour."
The internet tells me that I must give it lots of sun, be careful not to disturb its roots and be prepared for it to grow really rather big so I've given it my largest grow bag all to itself. It also seems best to leave it be for a year or so before I start thinking about harvesting it so I shall settle for glancing admiringly in its direction for now and do my very best to resist the urge to pull it to pieces and turn it into jam and crumble.
