Subject: Rhubarb #9: Bets?

I just read Lucky’s blog, and now that I’ve finished cacking myself laughing I can start writing.

Here’s what I’m gonna do with Lucky the Rhubarb Killer. (BTW I’m not being mean, I’m using a combination of black humour and reverse psychology in an veiled attempt to be supportive.) I’m gonna contribute the prize – can’t think what it’ll be – to the person who guesses how long Lucky’s #9 Rhubarb Plant will live for.

Now here’s the rules:

(1) click ‘reply’ on this thread, copy/paste the list below the line into a new post, adding your guess.

(2) Lucky reports on the first of the month (or as close to it as possible) to let us know whether #9 is still alive ……. or not

(3) a correct guess of the date on the death certificate gets a prize OR

(4) hopefully #9 will still be alive on Thursday 13 August 2009 and Lucky will win the prize, YAY!

a rhubarb bet…. I’ve done some weird thing in my life but a rhubarb bet ? lol!

I’m going the whole year as I want this poor numma 9 to live and I intend , albeit the distance between us, to have a hands on role and make sure it grows!
I’ll put reminders in my phone and ring L1 and instruct re watering and feeding regime, hehehe tongue in cheek :P

Lucky , Elf and little L1’s simply must sample the delicious to die for rhubarb muffins :D

Lady Rhubarb number 9.
Racing colours red and green.
Likes a heavy (wet) track.
Pipped at the post 8 times in a dismal non winning streak.
Needs blinkers on ( birds distract)
Jockey needs to stay on track.
Odds of 1 to 9. (one bucket of water = 9 leaves grow)
One to keep watch on. Has possibilities of great future wins.

Well I have gone back through Collie’s archives for a form guide, but only got back to 2006…we need at least 2007 and 2008 as well, for me to establish my suspicions about the ETD (Estimated Time of Death)…

…or maybe I can trawl Lucky’s Blog…?

Catching up….Lucky they need to be planted just below the surface, but no matter, just hill a bit of dirt up to the papery stuff but dont bury the leaf stalk, It looks fine and healthy. Don’t let it dry out though, I know you wont :D
Did you get a chance to read the rhubarb sites ?

I saw that BG. I think you are being quite generous to see it through to November. You could almost forward that date to this coming Monday???

Oh that poor little rhubarb. When you said yes it’s still alive I thought yesss! Then that pic..too small and that tiny leaf does not look good.
Well may I suggest liquid dynam lifter asap, and worm wee daily. It want’s to grow.
I think I won’t show you any pics of my my rhubarbs.

lol cackles, they are in very good shape. The main crown I moved to a permanant bed is going great , and it was one year old. I’ve read you’re not supposed to move/ divide them for several years. A part broke off it and I planted that and now thats got nice big leaves too. 2 other tiny crowns going fab…

Thanks, I can’t wait for fresh rhubarb to make muffins with :)
I have bought rhubarb to make them with, being impatient, but they were so tough, and not half as tasty or sweet. Never again.

The tops of the crowns were just barely covered with soil Lucky, and topped over with mulch

If you kill #10 and #11 Lucky you’ll have to stop, it just isn’t fair on the poor plants.
