August rhubarb pics

MB, that pic of the one in the ground looks like the problem mine had in the 15 gal bucket.

BTW, that Heavy Hitter okra hasn't hit so heavy. In fact, the Choppee is outproducing it. And the HH doesn't start producing really low on the plant as advertised. I'm wondering if it's just really unstable and that the guy's seed doesn't come true to the big-producing plants he's collecting from. Or if the whole HH thing is a myth.

February was cleaning out beds for spring and almost emptied the container the rhubarb was in. Brushed away all the dried leaves and what was there but a tiny green rhubarb bud! Still in the container in the shade and has 3 leaves with 6" stalks! Survived the winter with numerous days below freezing.

Anyone with rhubarb seeds willing to share I would love to try another batch. DM me.

I don't have seed but I could send you roots if interested. I'd have to dig around a bit to see what I have.
