Why can't Rhubarb be harvested the 1st and 2nd years?
Rhubarb can't be harvested the 1st and 2nd years because Rhubarb needs that time to establish its root systems. If you were to harvest it, the plant would then spend its energy making more stalks and leaves and not on root growth. Although during the second year, you can harvest some stalks, but only a 1/3 of the plant.

How many times a year do strawberries bloom?
The number of harvests available with strawberries depends on the type of strawberry. Ever-bearing strawberries can be harvested normally twice a year. With an April planting ever-bearing strawberries can be harvested around June and again around August-September. But to get flavorful and good sized strawberries, you should remove the flowers as the appear on the plant stems. You will sacrifice the first harvest but you will be surprised at the following harvest.

When do grapes vines bear fruit?
There are a few factors that affect when grapes are harvested. Most grapes are grown between the latitudes on 30 and 50 degrees. In the Northern hemisphere grapes can be harvested as early as July and well into autumn depending on location and variety. In the Southern hemisphere grapes are sometimes harvested as early as January but the bulk is harvested between February and April.

How do you plant roobob?
Ia am not usre whether you meant rhubarb or something else. But here is how to plant rhubarbRhubarb plants may be started from seed. Plants started from seed typically take 2 years to get a harvest, although in the proper climate one can get satisfactory results in one growing season. Also, propagation of rhubarb from seed is not recommended, as rhubarb seedlings do not retain the characteristics of the parent plants (see comments on Varieties). It is best to propagate with planting divisions obtained from splitting the crowns as described in the next section.Step by Step: Growing Rhubarb from seedsRhubarb seeds can be purchased mail order from a number of companies (see Sources). The seeds are encased in a rather large paper-like shell. Soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting. Plant the seeds in a suitable planting mixture. These seeds were sown in a commercially available mixture, 2 seeds per pot. I planted them in peat pots to making transplanting them easier and then put them in a sunny window. A heating cable will help speed the germination if the room temperature is below 70 degrees F. Rhubarb seeds germinate quickly. Shown here is a tiny rhubarb seedling at 10 days after planting (March 1997). At this point I will pinch off all but one seedling (I planted 2 seeds per pot, expecting the germination rater to be 50%). If I had wanted to grow these as annuals I would have started them sooner, like in the fall of the previous year, so I could plant them outside in early April.As the weather turned warmer (45 degrees F during the day, near 32 degrees F at night) I transplanted the rhubarb seedlings outdoors. I planted them in a mixture of 50% compost and 50% garden soil.Protect the seedlings from the bright sun. Rather than harden off the seedlings by gradually increasing their exposure to sunlight, I fitted the rhubarb plants with tiny little paper hats. These only lasted for about a week but that was long enough.Shown here is the same seeding shown above but in 60 day since planting (30 days after being transplanted outside). The plant is finally beginning to look like a rhubarb plant. At the end of the growing season these plants were about 12 inches () tall and had about 15 leaves each. Not quite enough for a harvest. Next year maybe.
