Good luck, I cannot imagine life without rhubarb.
I grew mine my current plants from seed, it was seed I brought with me from mu UK garden after spending 9 years there.
Good Luck

An extra thought, what about lifting the tubers as you would dahlias and fridging them for a while.

I've been considering the lifting idea. Mom is from northern MN so I grew up eating a lot of rhubarb in CO and when we would visit relatives in MN.
