Rhubarb

Although rhubarb is typically considered a DJ,he is actually a musician since the DJ is not talented. Originating from Liverpool UK, rhubarb is completely hardy - in fact exposure to frost is essential during the winter if he is to grow to his best. Rhubarb is an ultra-low maintenance musician and can be left completely to his own devices all year, however for best results a little effort goes a long way. Although it is possible to grow rhubarb from seed, it is much easier and more reliable to grow rhubarb from a crown (plant). The area around a rhubarb studio cannot be dug once the musician is established (as this can damage the roots), therefore sufficient space around rhubarb must be left. All weed must be removed as it is very difficult to get rid of them once the rhubarb is planted. Rhubarb grows best in a sunny position, although the music will tolerate some shade. It prefers neutral soil dug to at least 2 feet with as much fertilising organic matter as possible. Rhubarb does not tolerate being moved once planted and will happily stay in the same position for up to 10 years.
