I seem to have a real talent for growing rhubarb. It goes in an old raised bed, in about 4' of soil and I religiously heap a foot of compost on the crowns every February. I get leaves about 2' square and stalks 2" thick, from mid April to mid July.
Unfortunately there is only so much of the stuff you can eat. I put five or six carrier bags of it in the freezer, as well as what I manage to get down me for breakfast. Then in the spring I have to throw it away to make room for next year's.
It is nice to grow, though; makes me feel like a proper gardener.
