Best variety of rhubarb and best source
Comments (3)In my experience, rhubarb can be a bit tricky to get started; but once established, it is a very reliable producer. I have the Macdonald and Tilden strains(Nourse) and valentine, which is touted pretty highly. Hartmans offers the best price on this variety. I'll also add Starcrimson (Starks) this year. Victoria is an old standby and is always the cheapest. It is predominantly green and can be found most anywhere. If you know someone with rhubarb, you can get starts from them as rhubarb needs divided routinely. My personal favorite (variety unknown) came from my grandmother. There is a sentimental factor for sure, but it has performed better than my other types and has succulent, bright red, sweet stalks. Amend your soil with lots of manure if possible.

Comments (23)I have a Minnie Royal/ Royal Lee pair in a raised bed that went in earlier this year. Fingers crossed. There is actually a commercial variety of low chill cherries that I would LOVE to get my hands on but they sell only to commercial growers. They are known as the "little darlings," Royal Edie and Royal Helen. They fruit later than Minnie/Lee. I have not tasted any of these myself. I'm hoping to have five or six raised beds with 4 in 1 hole. I'm still collecting the trees, but by January should have everything. 4 "Royal" low chill cherries (Minnie/Lee, Edie/Helen) 4 Interspecifics, most likely: Flavor King Pluot Flavor Grenade Pluot Emerald Drop Plu-ot Bella Gold Pea-cot-um A single Weeping Santa Rosa 4 Plums and friends: Sweet Treat Plu-erry Burgandy, Mariposa & Catalina Plum 4 Nectarines and friends: Spice Zee Necta-plum Snow Queen, Panamint, and Double Delight Nectarines 4 Peaches Considering Sugar Giant, OHenry Mid Pride Eva's Pride (Any input here?) Maybe a avacado hole... Maybe an apricot /aprium hole......See MoreBest of the best climbing veggy varieties for flavor
Comments (0)I have decided to use my ten foot square dog pen around my compost pile. That will mean a LOT of nutrients around the perimeter going into the ground and a desire to cover the pen while hiding the compost pile. In the past I have tried half runners, but somehow they changed half way throught the season and were stringy. Could you experts in vertical gardening give me some ideas of what vegetables and sweetest/most productive verieties I should consider. No need for dried beans as the arthritis just wouldn't allow such lengthy shelling...and I can buy them so cheaply.

Comments (2)I did dill the first year in pots and it is still reseeding in the adjacent garden beds. So, if you let it go to seed, it will. Whether or not it will come up in the place you want it to is less certain. Not sure which variety, probably bouquet. It did fine in early spring, tasty and tender green foliage, and the bees absolutely loved the flowers but the minute the summer heat set in it bolted and went to seed, despite my moving it to almost full shade. The seed was nice and big, so I didn't mind so much because I wanted some anyway. I'm not sure how you'll do it down there in hot FL unless you grow it in the winter and spring.....See Moredghays
