Look for them "beyond the pale."

Rhubarb and Barbarian are related words. Apparently, Latin speakers thought of this plant as coming from those folks from outside the civilized part of the world. Etymologists claim that this is the word origin .

Rhubarb grows like a weed in my yard. It loves full sun and I have to keep dividing it. IF you can find somebody who is dividing Theirs, you'll be set for life.

I took my rhubarb starts off of a giant rhubarb across the alley. The woman told me to hurry up and get it because she was going to rent the house out. I am not sure how old that rhubarb was, but that was about 2010 and I have lots of rhubarb. People have moved in and out of that house over the years and one man tried to transplant in several places. The chicken man with the rabbits, but other people came and tried to spray it and kill it, but now a young couple bought the house and the young woman is so excited she has rhubarb. It is in the same spot where I took my. It has not been watered or taken care of in any way, just several times actually sprayed when the weeds were.

I am having my coffee on a rainy morning. I have onions and cabbage in that I started from seed. I have carrots, radish, some different kinds of greens, beets, lettuce seeds planted. I bought trellis and things for the climbing plants. I transplanted a few sweet pea flowers that I started and make a trellis out of some old canes I had. I even bought a second greenhouse for outside. The same one i bought in 2018. I have so many things that have to be put in bigger pots and I have a lot of plants I started for DD. I will still have to bring things inside tonight like tomatoes and peppers. I am getting my exercise I wanted of bringing plants in and out.

I would be thrilled if I could find someone that grew it..

It is a long ways from here. The patch we have was planted a long time ago and isn't doing that great now but that is because i don't do much to it anymore since we don't eat it ourselves and none of the people we used to give it to are alive any more. I will chew on a few stalks here or there if I'm that far out back.

It has been so dry the past few years that it has not had a very easy time of it. It has gone dormant in the summer time quite often the past five years. Too hot and too dry. I also think it doesn't like the well water so I've not watered it much (it's a long ways to haul the hose). What it mostly needs is some applications of some organic goodies.
