Rhubarb

[menclc]

I just moved to central Florida in the Daytona Beach area. I am wondering if anybody knows if Rhubarb grows very well in florida and if anyone knows where to find Rhubarb in central florida. Possibly a good farmers market in the area that may have it or a family farm of some kind?

I'm putting a copy of this thread into the Gardening board, so maybe you'll get an answer to whether it grows well in FL.

Check with your state's Extension Service. Each county should have it's own Cooperative Extension Office which provides free publications and information for the asking. They can also tell you the average last frost date for your area and ideal planting times for specific crops and varieties in your area.

Just call up the office in your county. Look under the "Government" section (usually blue pages) of your phone book under "Extension". They will have valuable vegetable/gardening tables available specifically for your area from data they've collected from growing those crops in your state.
