How to beet the winter blues with some pinks
		MAT COWARD recommends finding a perfect spot for rhubarb which will provide you with plenty of food each year
	
			RHUBARB is too accommodating for its own good. Because it’ll grow well enough in almost any unloved corner of the garden, that’s where it tends to end up.
But if you can spare it an open spot that gets plenty of sun, has soil that is moist but at the same time free-draining, and doesn’t catch late frosts, you might be surprised at the enormous amount of food one rhubarb plant can provide each year.
The flavour will be much better, too. If the ground’s not frozen or saturated, then February is a convenient time for starting a new rhubarb plant.
