when should you plant rhubarb
Although it is possible to grow rhubarb from seed, rhubarb planting using root stock, or crowns, is the favoured method for growing rhubarb, especially in Northern climates. The best time to plant rhubarb from root stock or crowns, (also referred to as  rhizomes ), is in early spring. Once planted, it will thrive in the cooler spring temperatures and will really begin to grow once the soil temperature reaches above 40 Â° F.
