    HI I have grown from seed but takes three years to get some off it, better to divide a clump and then it will establish in one year

    Hi Shirl, I thought I'd lost my baby rhubarb too, one day I came across it while I was weeding, the wee tuber laying
    on top of the soil with a tiny bit of green growth. Mum was going to divide her rhubarb up to give me some. A friend
    bought plants from the garden centre but they were over $10. Bit steep. Hope someone you know can divvy up some of
    theirs to give you a bit! I've never heard of growing from seed, but I'm sure it could be done.
