Two rhubarb survivors that I attempted to germinate last December. The larger plant in the 12" pot was transplanted into this pot several months ago seems to be growing well. Mix in the pot is 2/3 soil conditioner and 1/3 Black Cow manure with a touch of Tomato Tone topped with somewhat rotted straw. Mixture drains well, gets morning sun and afternoon mottled shade.

Smaller plant was transplanted into the ground (needs to be weeded) was doing well until this last week of torrential rains and I think it is now waterlogged. Transplanted today into a pot with the same mixture and placed it in the shade to see if it will recover.

Like GoDawgs, I believe unless these survive over the winter I too will abandon the "experiment".
