Not here in Central Montana. <big sad sigh> There has been "snow
showers" the majority of the day, and Spring crops up on the days I can't
get outside coz of "other things."
Anyway, I'm waiting to plant Asparagus in the herbal bed extension, and
I have Rhubarb to plant next to the old plant that came with the house. For
whomever had the question: the directions say to plant in well-drained soil
in the sun. Set the crowns just below ground level. Fertilize liberally
and keep the soil moist & free of weeds. Remove the flower spikes as they
appear. The spacing should be 3 - ft apart. You don't harvest the first
year, and little the second. After that, the stems should be plentiful, and
you can harvest throughout the late spring/eary summer. I have peonies
waiting to go in the front yard too.
