rhubard again!!

[caseylee]

can I sow rhubard seeds straight into a cold greenhouse, or do they need to be germinated inside first. I have tried both ways and no luck either way, any help would be great

We sowed ours in the unheated greenhouse last year.All came up fine. I will post the sowing instructions later if you like :D

Yes please I don't seem to be having any luck with rhubard this year, my crown from last year only has one leaf at the mo and out of the 8 seeds I sowed not one came up.  HOw long do they usually take to germinate

I started mine in pots on the windowsill

Hi Caseylee.
Sow seeds in small pots of moist seed compost 1cm deep. Place in warmth 15-18 degrees centigrade. Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in bright sun. Gradually accustom young plants to conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping postition in summer or autumn. Harvest next year.
Hope this helps ;D
Debbie :)

Due to an slight accident I can`t walk at the moment but I`m sure some folks would be happy to send you some off cuts from their rhubarb?. It would save at least a year

[caseylee]

that would be brilliant if anyone had some avail I would not say no
Thank you
