Glen, any chance that we could get a part of your rhubarb plant in the fall? I think it would make the couple of mile journey just fine!

Yup. I haven't split the root for several years now.

How do you decide it is time to split it? I got my starts from a neighbor a couple of years ago so not ready yet. I just noticed she moved all of hers to a raised bed. I just planted a couple more crowns this spring but I also think I'm going to transition them to a raised bed since our soil is mostly sand.

Also a note on rhubarb pie: for those of you traveling to or from Chilliwack who opt for the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry route, not far past the ferry turnoff on Whidbey is Greenbank Farm and the Whidbey Pies Cafe. Great pie (good food, too) and almost always room to park a trailer (though you might have to be able to back it, too, to get back out). Great rhubarb pie but also many other kinds.

Thanks, we can touch base later in the year.
