New rhubarb crowns in pots (as temporary measure)

[wbmkk]

I ordered some rhubarb crowns which arrived today.

Unfortunately the allotment is very very wet, so I may put in raised beds, or even small 1m x 1m raised beds in the position I want to put the rhubarb.

In the meantime, I will pop the crowns in pots.

What size would be best ?

They will probably stay there until March / April and will be kept in the greenhouse (unheated)

Put them in pots just big enough to accommodate the rootball. If you overpot they will rot. If they start growing loads of roots you can re-pot if necessary.
