Don’t Let Rhubard Flower

The red vegetable is native to colder climates, where it begins to grow in the early spring. If you live in the appropriate climate to grow rhubarb, it’s a great addition to your vegetable garden. The perennial crop needs lots of sun and moist, rich soil. Other than that, once established, rhubarb plants aren’t too high maintenance, and can be harvestable for many years to come. However, there are some issues that may arise during the plant’s lifetime. All plants are susceptible to issues like bugs and disease, but rhubarbs have a unique issue to look out for — flowering stalks.

Garden Spacing

Plant Spacing Guide – Information On Proper Vegetable Garden Spacing

When planting vegetables, spacing can be a confusing topic. So many different kinds of vegetables need different spacing; it’s hard to remember how much space goes between each plant.

In order to make this easier, we have put together this handy plant spacing chart to help you. Use this vegetable plant spacing guide to help you plan how best to place vegetables in your garden.

To use this chart, simply find the vegetable you plan on putting into your garden and follow the suggested spacing for between the plants and between the rows. If you plan on using a rectangular bed layout rather than a traditional row layout, use the upper end of each between the plant spacing for your chosen vegetable.

This spacing chart is not intended to to be used with square foot gardening, as this kind of gardening is more intensive.
