Hello Duncan, re rhubarb flowering: I have read that only hungry rhubarb plants flower! Right or wrong. I usually break the flower stalk off and feed it . I don't think there has been another flower very often -needs more observance than I do.
That’s an interesting thought. I have a few patches of rhubarb, some with identical genetics. So I might try feeding one or two clumps up for twelve months and look for any differences in flowering.
Raining cats & spiders? Ugh. That’s a horror dream of mine. Great post as always Duncan. Plenty to read & go back to. My wicking beds are exploding with cucumbers beans tomatoes & even leeks for my first time. All is well in the garden as a great man once said. Cheers

Thanks for sharing your wisdom Pauline.

I find spiders in the rain gauge quite a bit. Im glad your vegetable patch is ramping up. It's an exciting time in the garden, enjoy!
