Reflecting on the four-year journey of my veg patch led me to realizations about necessary changes. Some perennial beds are too shaded, and the wildlife barrier needs repair.
With rhubarb thriving after four years, it's time to divide it. This ensures continued vigor, as rhubarb tires after four or five years, and it’s also a prime method of vegetative propagation.
Dividing the rhubarb is a straightforward, yet dramatic process resulting in a genetic clone of the parent plant, contrasting with seed propagation through pollination and fertilization.
The changing conditions in my garden require attention. By assessing what thrives and what struggles, I’m reminded that gardening is an ongoing practice of adaptation and improvement.
