I was at my brothers’ and in his garden I took the first picture of tulips of the year. Of course not of flowering tulips, but of some sprouting tulips.

Unfortunately I had to use my brother’s handphone camera, which is not really the latest model.

But it’s the effort that counts and just to know that unlike in my garden some tulips "shot out" of the soil due to a way too mild winter, his tulips are doing fine :-)

I know, this tulip picture is very small, yet as small as the tulips themselves.

Rhubarb transplanting

If you are thinking about rhubarb transplanting, now is the ideal time. “Now” means: as soon as your soil is workable in early spring and you can dig deep to get a large portion of the rhubarb root.

Make sure you transplant rhubarb before the growth begins, so whenever you see your rhubarb sprouting, it’s time to transplant if needed.

Large rhubarb plants can be divided with a sharp spade or butcher knife. Each division should have at least 1 or 2 rhubarb buds and of course a portion of the root system.

Replant your rhubarb as soon as possible. The roots must not be allowed to dry out prior to planting.

Myself I have my rhubarb on 2 spots: one a bit in the shade and one in full sun, depending on the season at least 1 of the 2 spots will harvest ideal rhubarb without having to worry about it. Yet rhubarb is so easy to grow that once you have rhubarb, it keeps forever. Which is great because I love to eat rhubarb pie and drink rhubarb ice tea :-)
