I live in the Appalachian Mountains but used to live in OK (totally different soil). Here’s a tip for growing rhubarb. It doesn’t really like just garden or backyard soil. You need to dig a 2′ x 3′ space about 12-18″ deep per large root. Amend the soil with peat moss.Buy it if you do not have natural compost. Throw in leaves, grass, dirt, very dry horse manure (Ree’s got plenty),then water deeply. Really work it. Should be very light and loamy. Set your root just below ground level. As the soil settles, just a bit of the root should be above ground.Then add grass or leaves so it won’t dry out too fast. Bet you’ll have rhubarb next year! In very cold climate…mulch, mulch, mulch and try to plant on south side of a building or out in full sun. Sorry guys, you can’t eat it the first year,it will make you sick. Wait for the second year. AND ALWAYS–the leaves are POISON. Now I’m gonna get started cooking!!! Thanks everybody:)
