Rhubarb? Help?
Hi,
Discovered this on my plot & am hopeful that it's rhubarb. Foot for scale.
It's in an area that has overgrown now with grass. I'd like to turn the area into a bed and plant strawberries nearby.
Is that a stupid idea? Do the plants get on near each other?
Also - what's the best way of controlling the weeds/grass without damaging the rhubarb? Am I best to dig it out and pop it back in once I've cleared and added compost or just dig around it?
Also - I know the leaves are poisonous - are there any precautions I should take?
Thanks in advance!
