I'm so pleased. It got here yesterday. It came in a tall box with
Fragile Handle with Care all over it. The box was filled with foam
peanuts. The rhubarb itself was in a 6-inch pot with very wet soil
around it. I tucked the soil more tightly around the plant and
discovered that the pot contains mostly big, solid root. The rhubarb
is just beginning to get 'bumps' above the soil. I couldn't be more
pleased with the plant and the condition. I've never ordered before
from those folks but I would again.

Now, if it would stop raining and snowing I could prepare the soil for
it. Meanwhile I have it in the unheated back bedroom.

Don't expect a crop from it this year. Rhubarb usually takes a year or
more to take hold, even if you move an entire plant just a few feet into
the same type of soil. At least, that is my experience.

you are correct. Rhubarb, asparagus and peonies need a couple of
years to produce.

Dave, I don't think this is Janet B's first rodeo when it comes to
gardening (and rhubarb in particular).
