Noticed mine coming up right after comfrey this year

How do you grow comfrey? Better yet, how do you recognize comfrey?

You have to get cuttings. We got them from #[4]​ originally before they went on the road and now will also be selling it soon. It’s kind of like a fuzzy hosta. Once you recognize it you see it easily

I bought cuttings from a company online.

I believe cockroaches and rhubarb are the two things that can easily survive a nuclear bomb.

I have so much rhubarb and nothing will stop it from coming up year after year.

i’m hoping!

Where are you located? I’m in Ontario and my rhubarb buds are red. I’ll post a picture in the morning. Interesting. I don’t know if there are different varieties.

mine havent had time to establish. planted the roots 3-4 days ago

Here is the status of my rhubarb.

Wow, so does it spread year to year?

It does spread. It was planted when I bought the farm so not sure what was originally planted. The photo does not capture all the plants. I am desperately trying to give rhubarb to everyone I meet for the month of June :-)

I have 5 breaking the ground. The solid rain today helped.

Very long way from pie

6 weeks and you are good to go.

I am now drowning in rhubarb. The desperate giveaway season begins!
