can I grow rhubarb here?

[mothhawk]

I have a patch of ground in my north facing garden that only gets any sun in the late evening and then only through the summer months. Would rhubarb be happy there?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it tolerates shade, but whenever I've seen rhubarb growing it always seems to be where it gets full sun.

Or is there any other veg that would grow here?

Dunno mate, mine is in full sun. Maybe try a bit and then plant more later if it works.

I have some in full shade and it's strong and healthy. Also have some in partial shade which is definitely growing quicker... Both are Timperley early if that helps.

Thanks for the replies - I'll try some then and see how it goes.
