How to Grow Rhubarb
Allow the newly planted rhubarb at least one growing season before starting to take a crop.
An Edible Landscape
As a homeowner in a neighborhood that seems to be obsessed with lawn care, I find that my lawn is actually shrinking. I’m not selling off acreage, nor am I letting bits run wild. Well, not really. Instead of grass, which the voles will simply dig up in the spring, and I can’t bring myself to poison or trap them, I am planting perennial edibles of various sorts that hold the soil in place, look lovely, attract all manner of wildlife and help feed my small family. I do very little after planting other than harvest, a little watering and a little pruning in the Spring.
