Our rhubarb was growing at our previous location. We brought one plant, divided it into four plants and transplanted them here December 2014. We had bought the property and brought our 5th Wheel RV here to vacation, plan & build our house. At that time I didn’t know exactly where our future garden would be, but wanted to get the rhubarb going, so it was planted in a sunny spot near our RV, shown at the left. 

It was nice to give it a chance to get established. I had thought that the deer would not want to eat it, and I was right….sort of….for a while. Eventually they did nibble a bit. We would see them sniff, nibble and walk away.

After the garden was established with the raised beds, we eventually divided the rhubarb again, and transplanted it (now 8 plants) along the front of the garden on either side of the gate, but outside the enclosure. Here it gets watered along with the main garden, gets plenty of sun, and has done very well.
