It’s easy to grow. It’s hardy. You don’t have to do much for it. Well, that’s all true of rhubarb, unless you want to harvest a good crop. My first harvest of the year was pretty good, and better than last year. That made me feel pretty good about how the rhubarb patch was doing, and I neglected it for other things. I didn’t weed, fertilize, or water (it’s easy to grow, after all), and it looks like I won’t be harvesting this month. I didn’t take a “before” picture, because I was too embarrassed. Here’s what it looks like now.
