    As I have nowhere to grow it in the ground my in- house advisor has asked me if we can grow rhubarb in a pot. Any suggestions? [​IMG]

    We get very early forced rhubarb by planting up a section of root with shoots and raising it in a pot in the GH covered with a couple of black bin bags.

    You'll need a big pot Strongy' as the roots grow to pretty massive proportions and will probably have to re-pot every couple of years.

    Worth a try. Nowt to lose!
