We are on our 2nd year (using 3 year old seed!) but I was unsure where to plant this. Ended up in a large tub and it's doing great this year. To avoid the thin, spindly stalks it will take a large amount of fertilizer to make a difference. As to the bugs leaving this alone, not so for the creepy earwigs that have invaded the tub. They only eat holes in the leaves and don't bother the stalks. Just wish the leaves killed or maimed the earwigs like us humans are warned to not eat. Of course, how my hubby tells me he doesn't like rhubarb. Could it be my cooking? Naw...
