       I have an area at the bottom of the garden lot that is my rhubarb bed.  The area is about 50ft.² (4.6 meter²) and contains about 8 plants.  It was planted well over 50 years ago by an older generation.  This was enough to supply the needs of at least 4 large households in the neighborhood and was by no means the only garden with rhubarb.  The old folks are all gone now, and these days the demand is almost nil, but the plants still carry on.  I let them flower now for the bees, etc.#gardening

       @richrollgardener good to know they can last that long without rotation, as I did want to setup a little steady nook of my gardens for some rhubarb plants.  Strawberry Rhubarb pie being a favorite of mine, so I may set some Strawberry plants for rotation near them.#Gardening

       @BrahmaBelarusian These seem to be indestructible and require almost no maintenance other than fresh mulch in the spring as they emerge.  No idea what variety they might be.

       @richrollgardener that is fantastic! I want to set up a rhubarb corner as well.Funny there's no demand. We love them - they make nice cakes, jams, and red fruit jelly.@BrahmaBelarusian
