Growing rhubarb end of January
Just have a look at our growing rhubarb: and it’s only January!
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

Dying to get out there and get going on my rhubarb
patch. Unfortunately, 3 feet of snow where I am.
It will be awhile yet here in Ontario.
Looking forward to rhubarb pie too!
