 Rhubarb starts in five-gallon buckets and curious what I need to do to make sure they take off and do well. Great question. Rhubarb is pretty resilient. It's very tough. Have you done rhubarb before, David? I have not. You've never done rhubarb? Rhubarb. So when my wife and I built our house, there was a rhubarb in the pasture where we built our house, and we were going to try and put our driveway in there. So we dug it up.
