Glad you found some things you liked here. <br /><br />I would be happy to share some rhubarb with you, although I suspect Kyushu may be a bit too hot for rhubarb to settle in happily. I'd be willing to help you give it a go, though. Depending where you are, you'll want to at least give it a somewhat cool, semi-shaded place. Even here in Kanagawa it is finding the garden too hot. <br /><br />I'll be splitting a crown in March, 2015. I left a plant at the farm in Tokyo, and I'll need to retrieve it then. I can send it along then.<br /><br />If you give me your email (I won't publish it here, of course.) I'll send you a note and we can start sorting out the details.

Found you through your post on Jerusa...Great blog! Found you through your post on Jerusalem artichokes- or yacon? Which was it?<br /><br />I then found your post on rhubarb and would definitely raid your garden if I was local. Lucky for you I'm in Kyushu :-( Where did you get the rhubarb? I would love to grow some. Would you consider splitting your crown? I could try and bribe you with some home-made tonic water syrup- or beer or ...<br /><br />If you are up for a trade then leave a post here and we can work out some way to make it happen.<br /><br />JeffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151407393712281092[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670240581789114113.post-5668076086876842442011-10-06T16:20:14.832+09:002011-10-06T16:20:14.832+09:00It's pretty unusual here, too.

The foreign community here in Tokyo would raid my garden in a heart-beat if they knew I had two thriving plants.Joan Lambert Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115423496781398997[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670240581789114113.post-6482792209293431522011-10-02T23:28:37.210+09:002011-10-02T23:28:37.210+09:00Despite the fact that I detest rhubarb, I am very ...Despite the fact that I detest rhubarb, I am very curious to see how this comes out.
