Sorry I can't help with the duck. But here's a great thread on growing Rhubarb in Colorado. I grew up in Winter Park. My Grandmother had a huge planting of huge Rhubarb - it came back year after year and was delicious.

What color are the silkies that you are selling and what quality?


Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for buffs. Love the pictures though.

Not sure that the cold weather hurt the rhubarb last night, maybe more the lack of snow and moisture all winter. But my plant is huge this year and I watered it a lot early spring and late winter. Twice as big as last year.

I water periodically throughout the winter so I know it wasn't a lack of water (I'm the only one that has green grass because of this

). In previous years the rhubarb plants were huge. I also have an apple tree that didn't bloom so I think, at least in my case, it is weather related.

Our apple trees were absolutely covered in blossoms. I had dreams about baskets and baskets of apples. And then the wind hit. Something tells me there's no apples AGAIN this year. Ggggggrrrrr

I had a few blossoms on my apple tree this year, saw some small fruits and now... nothing!

Last year it was the squirrels getting the small apples before they were ripe, for just a couple nibbles and they were dropped.

Was hoping for apples this year since I have a dog that doesn't tolerate intruders (esp. squirrels) oh well fingers crossed for next year.

your welcome, I am going to have a hard time parting with any of these as they are so cute!
