May 21, 2019 Bolting Rhubarb, Alexander Pope, Henri Rosseau, Pope's Grotto at Twickenham, The Land of the Blue Poppies, Frank Kingdon Ward, Installing Garden Paths, and Richard Walter Pohl

Summary: Is your rhubarb bolting already?   When your rhubarb seems to be bolting too early, ask yourself these questions...   - Is your rhubarb an heirloom or a new variety? Older varieties tend to bolt sooner. Try planting a newer variety.   - Is your rhubarb very established? The older your rhubarb, the quicker it bolts. If you divide your established rhubarb, it revitalizes your plant and can thwart flowering.
