What eats rhubarb and how do I make them into good pests? I found this plant years ago growing just fine by a stone wall in an abandoned lot in western Montana years ago. It's been dutifully growing ever since but I've never once been able to harvest it due to pic related. The wild specimen never appeared to have this problem. Being unable to grow a plant that survived decades abandoned in a Superfund site is really making me feel like an idiot, and I'd like to learn how it tastes eventually. I got a different variety of rhubarb to keep it company and the same thing happens.
My tomatoes, pumpkins, kale, etc. are all more or less fine. It's just rhubarb that does this. Zone 6 (Utah) if it helps. I see beautiful rhubarb plants in other people's gardens so it's just me that's retarded.
