Title: Re: [NAFEX] Rhubarb under grapevines

Ed is right, in one sense.  I had rhubarb that came back year after year in one place I lived, but I was amazed at how much bigger, juicier, and more productive it was when I loaded on the compost and rotted manure (or fish pellets).  Guess it depends on how much rhubarb you can eat.

Oregon, where the lilacs are starting to bloom, the crab apples and the Gravensteins are blossoming, and it's a very soggy spring which we need to insure good electricity supplies.
