I tried growing rhubarb for the first time this year - I bought several large clumps off of a woman on craigslist. They seemed very healthy. I planted them, watered them and they had new growth. Since it's gotten so hot out, they wilted (despite plenty of water) and they seem to have died. Any...

Suggestions?
OK, these are probably dumb questions but I'm gonna ask anyway! I usually get rhubarb from family members who have an overabundance but this year I bought some and planted it myself.
So - does it spread at all, or if I want more do I need to go out and buy more? Also, do I just cut off the...
I have three rhubarb plants- one I just divided off this year, so that is out of the picture. I have two other ones. One has a ton of long stalks, but they are very skinny (1/2 inch) and the other one has long, very thick stalks, but there are only 5 of them, so I don't dare pick them. They...
